What is dsadvantages of having 50 Hz supply over 60 Hz supply?
There is no inherent disadvantage of 50 Hz compared with 60 Hz, bearing in mind that systems that run at 50 Hz are designed to run at 50 Hz.
Why in India there is 230v supply n in US there is 110v supply?
In the United States most homes are wired with both 240V AND 120 V. The question becomes, why, in India is there ONLY 230 V? Another difference; in The US and Canada, we use 60 Hz, while in most of Europe they use 50 Hz.
What is the difference between Hz and watts?
'Hz' is the symbol for 'hertz', the SI unit for frequency -equivalent to a 'cycle per second'. The frequency of your supply is 50 Hz in Europe, or 60 Hz in North America.The 'watt' is the SI unit for power, which is the rate at which your electrical appliances use energy.
What is the power rating in Hz in Cebu Philippines?
All of the Philippines uses 220 V at 50 Hz.
Can you use 110v 60Hz supply for 110v 50Hz equipment?
If the load is non inductive and straight resistive then there is no problem. Inductive loads like motors, a 60 Hz device can be used on 50 Hz but it is much harder on the equipment if 50 Hz is used on a 60 Hz system.
What is dsadvantages of having 50 Hz supply over 60 Hz supply?
There is no inherent disadvantage of 50 Hz compared with 60 Hz, bearing in mind that systems that run at 50 Hz are designed to run at 50 Hz.
What kind of power outlet is used in India?
230 volt 50 Hz.
What voltage and Hz does India use?
Voltage in India is 230V / 50 Hz
If 60 hz ac supply used in India?
It would cost the utility companies and consumers billions of dollars to change all of the equipment to 60 Hz. You have England to thank for your 50 Hz systems.
If a bulb has 50 Hz frequency and it is apply at 60 Hz frequency voltage supply then it is glow or not?
If a bulb has 50 Hz frequency and it's supply is 60 Hz frequency, it will still glow, despite the allowance of 10 HZ frequency.
Can you operate a motor of 575 v 60 Hz with a power supply of 575v 50 Hz?
Yes, it will just run slower than rpm indicated on nameplate
Why India produce 220 volt?
India's standard electrical supply for home outlets is 230 volts at 50 Hz. This is what the country has chosen for their supply. Lots of outer countries use the exact same voltage.
What is the power voltage in Indonesia?
Since 1998, the standard mains supply throughout Indonesia is 230 volts, 50 Hz.
Will a 50 hertz digital piano work on 60 hertz power supply?
It should be all right. The main thing to get right is the supply voltage, because usually 50 Hz goes with 220-240 v and 60 Hz goes with 120 v.
Where does the wave trappers present in a switch yard?
The wave trappers are used to control the frequency of of the power supply from transmission lines.. for example in India we need 50 Hz supply, but from the supply lines we will receive the supply in (say) 54Hz. In order to obtain 50 Hz, wave trappers are used in sub-stations or in switch yards.. hence the wave trappers are located initially in-between the lightning-arrester and the current transformer in the primary side as shown below: power supply - lightning arrester - wave trapper - current transformer - ......-primary of the transformer
Why 50hz frequency supply in India?
There are no sensible technical reasons to have to do anything to change the electrical power distribution network in India to 60 Hz because its present 50 Hz system works perfectly well.Many other countries of the world use 50 Hz instead of 60 Hz and the only reason to discuss whether there should be a changeover is principally a matter of government/ political debate.The answers to the Related Questions, shown below, give more information about the reasons for the existence of both 50 Hz and 60 Hz electrical power distribution networks in the world.Another answerDo you have an appliance that does not work properly at 50 Hz?- If it is a device designed to run on 60 Hz it usually has to be modified to run on 50 Hz. Remember that the voltage has to be changed too.- For an electric clock, the answer is to get another clock. The gear ratio would have to be changed.- For a phonograph or tape recorder, the motor pulley is usually exchanged for one calibrated for 50 Hz.- Most electronic devices (radios, amplifiers, computers) do not have to be converted, but some with an undersized power supply could overheat or hum at 50 Hz.- Power tools run a little slower, but should work if converted for voltage.- Light bulbs can't tell the difference in frequency.- Anything with an AC adaptor can probably be run with an equivalent adaptor sold by the company for the purpose.
