Getting a different power supply will help.  Other than that you may need to use a PAL compatible display since you won't be able to see what you are typing on an NTSC TV because of the flicker.  Once those two things (power supply & graphic display) are ironed out you should be fine.

Switching to ECS and Kickstart 2+ will allow you to switch from PAL to NTSC from the early startup menu.  However, most software for the A500 requires Kickstart 1.3 and runs in PAL mode anyway so you would probably be better off trying to find a 50Hz RGB monitor such as a Commodore 1084S.
