[sdiy] new zealand electricity ??

[Harry Bissell]

if you're doing the power supply, make sure the power transformer is rated for
50/60Hz  (in general, more core is needed for the lower frequency) and be sure
that the main power supply filter caps are large enough (the ripple frequency
is lower)

A good (generously sized) 60Hz power supply usually works on 50Hz with no problems,

but watch out in particular for HALF-WAVE RECTIFIER designs...

The 50/60Hz diference doesn't matter.
Australia is 50Hz as well.
