Sorry...I keep thinks of international terms. Most equipment in Australia comes from 60Hz designs. This is because most of the designs are for OS markets that are a lot bigger than ours. Manufacturers don't change the designs for Australian equipment they just build in more power factor tolerances so they run ok on our 50Hz.
Most of the world is split between 50Hz & 60Hz.
They also build in designs that accommodate anything from 220V to 240V for the same reason
