I don't have schematics, but the assumption is that they do an AC-DC 
conversion, and then they convert back to AC at the variable frequency 
wanted for the motor, ie, adjusting its speed.

My AC might have a trifasic motor, or perhaps a brushless DC motor. The 
fridge claims to have a linear motor, which I understand is not 
rotating, but some kind of piston and an electromagnet moving it forward 
and back, at a variable frequency.


I did not say that they will work with either 50 or 60 Hz, but that they 
might. Not going to test it!

I am looking at the AC user manual, and amazingly there is no specs page.
