I just moved a cnc machine into the USA that was initially set up to run on 220v/50hz and USA uses 110V/60 hz. The machine uses 1 KW from what I remember. What do I need to do to power this machine in the USA? Will using 220V/60Hz ruin the machine, do I need a transformer like this Electricity Transformer Adapter Voltage 600W Converter 110v/220v/240v 50HZ/60HZ | eBay but one that will support 1000W? Hope someone can give me some suggestions, I can't use the machine until I figure this out and am urging to play with it
