The higher frequency allows for the use of less iron in Transformers and motors, but at the cost of more losses in the distribution system.
To add to the above, the 60 Hertz frequency was used for many years as a simple means to keep clocks, timers, synchronous motors and other frequency dependent devices at multiples or divisions of 60 cycles per second.
Thus dividing by 60 gives seconds, and dividing that result by another 60 gives minutes, and again, another 60 gives hours.

50 hertz is what period of vibration?
50. Hertz is the same as cycles per second.
Is there a Measure to convert 60 hz into 50 hz?
There is nothing to convert. You are using the same unit of measurement. A hertz is a hertz, all you are dealing with is 10 less Hertz. 60 Hertz - 10 Hertz = 50 Hertz The difference is 10 Hertz. The math there is just to give you a clear example and illustrate my point. What you are asking for is similar to someone asking "how do you convert miles to miles" or "how do I convert inches to inches".
Is 50 Hz dangerous?
No. Lots of countries use 50 hertz for their national electricity services.
What can happen if you connect a 60 hertz air conditioning unit to a 50 hertz generator?
Probable the air conditioner doesn't work well.
What is the difference between 50 Hertz and 61 Hertz?
Frequency is determined by the supply voltage, not by the load. However, for reactive loads (inductors or capacitors), the reactance will vary according to the frequency applied.
What is the frequency of household electricity?
In North America, it is 60 Hertz, and in Europe it is 50 hertz.
50 hertz is what period of vibration?
50. Hertz is the same as cycles per second.
Would it take longer to charge a battery on 50hz?
The same as charging at 60 hertz if you are in a county that runs at 50 hertz and have a charger that runs at 50 hertz.
How is the term hetz abbreviated Hz related to a waves frequency?
It's "hertz", not "hetz". The number of hertz is the frequency. For example, if the current has a frequency of 50 hertz... well, that's the frequency. Hertz is equivalent to cycles/second, and it is sometimes written that way. So, 50 hertz could also be written as 50 cycles/second.
What is the frequency of thunder in general?
50 hertz

Can you plug in a 50 Hertz tea pot in 60 Hertz outlet?
Being a resistive load it would work. The hard part of this procedure will be inserting a 50 Hertz plug into a 60 Hertz receptacle. The pin configurations of the two systems do not match each other.
Will AC 220-240v 50hz battery charger work in America?
No, the U.S. electrical system is 60 hertz not 50 hertz. The only way you can use it is if the charger will operate at 50 & 60 hertz which is unlikely but possible. It will be listed on the charger if it will operate at a lower hertz.
What and where is hertz car rentals?
Hertz car rental has thousands of car rental locations all over the United States and all of the world. They have car rental locations in all the 50 states, including Pennsylvania.
What TVs show 50 and or 60 hertz?
50 Europe 60 USA
What is mains frequency in India?
50Hz
Will a battery charge on fifty hertz?
Sure if you are in a country that uses the 50 hertz cycle and you have a charger designed to run at 50 hertz. In the U.S. it will not work. ------------------------------------------------------------ A battery charges on DC, not AC. The battery charger may not work at the wrong frequency, however.
