Doing what? Operating on 50 Hz AC?  It's the rare switcher that isn't designed
to work on both 50 Hz and 60 Hz AC - "usually," the power supply manufacturer
is designing to some range which will cover both standard frequencies plus
a generous tolerance; like "47-63 Hz."  Why do you think that switchers are
especially sensitive to line frequency?  (Not that you can't come up with
a particular switcher that won't work at 50 Hz with X load, but your reply
seemed to imply that switchers were designed for a *very* limited range of
input frequencies.)
