60 cycles is also called 60 Hertz. This is the frequency of the sine wave for AC voltage. It means there are 60 repetitions of the wave every second.
Answer'60 cycles' is a lazy or slang expression for '60 cycles per second', which is a measure of the line frequency of North American electricity supplies (in Europe and elsewhere, it's 50). Under SI, the 'cycle per second' has been replaced by the 'hertz' (Hz). So we now say, '60 Hz'.

How many alternations make up one cycle of an alternating current?
Frequency in Hertz is a count of cycles per second. So at 60Hz, there are 60 cycles per second. This means there are (60 cycles per second x 60 seconds) = 3600 cycles per minute.
How many seconds are there in one cycle as it pertains to 60 cycles?
There is one second in 60 cycles. So 5 cycles is equal to about 0.012 seconds or 12 milliseconds.AnswerThe periodic time is the reciprocal of frequency. So the answer to your question is 1/60 s or 16.67 ms.
What is the frequency of a alternating current source?
A/c 60 cycles
If AC Current changes direction 120 times per second so how many cycles is that?
Each cycle includes two changes of direction.120 changes of direction per second = (120 / 2) = 60 cycles per second = 60 Hz.
What is the formula for cycle if the frequency is 60Hz?
"60 Hz" means "60 cycles per second". Each cycle lasts 1/60th of a second = 16-2/3 milliseconds
What is frequecy of the electrical suppy measured in?
It used to be measured in Cycles eg. 60 cycles. Now it is measured in Hertz, eg 60 Hz. Named after Heinrich Hertz. See website http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Hertz
What is 115v60HZ1PH?
115V60HZ1PH means 115 volts, 60 hertz (cycles per second), single phase. This is the standard format for North American residential electrical power.
How many cycles in 60 Hz?
A cycle is one complete revolution of the sine wave. Hertz is the frequency of the alternating current, how many complete cycles per second. 60 Hertz would have 60 cycles each second.
How many alternations make up one cycle of an alternating current?
Frequency in Hertz is a count of cycles per second. So at 60Hz, there are 60 cycles per second. This means there are (60 cycles per second x 60 seconds) = 3600 cycles per minute.
What is 1260 in the lowest terms?
If you mean 12/60 then it is 1/5
What is 1260 expressed in lowest terms?
If you mean 12/60 then it is 1/5
How many seconds are there in one cycle as it pertains to 60 cycles?
There is one second in 60 cycles. So 5 cycles is equal to about 0.012 seconds or 12 milliseconds.AnswerThe periodic time is the reciprocal of frequency. So the answer to your question is 1/60 s or 16.67 ms.
What is the highest rpm at which a 60 to 25 cycle per second frequency changer operate?
The fastest setting is 60 cycles per second. multiply by 60 to get the number of cycles in a minute. The answer is 3600
Specifications carpigiani electrical LB-502?
208-230 Volts 1/3 Phase 60 Cycles Breaker Size 50 / 40 Amps Run Amps 39/31
What is the frequency of AC current in North America?
In North America 60 Hertz. Europe 50 Hertz.
What will happen to a motor which is designed for 50 or 60 cycle operation if it connected to 60 Hz?
60 cycles = 60 hertz
What is the source of a alternating current?
A/c 60 cycles
