Best Answer

At the time electricity was implemented for domestic use, India was under British rule. 240v 50Hz is the British system.

240v was deemed to be the ideal compromise between safety and having conductors suitably small, using less current for power required.

50Hz is half of 100 in an attempt to metricate the system.

What plug is used in southern Ireland?

The standard domestic electricity supply in Ireland is 230 volt AC (frequency 50hz). The most common plug used is the 13 amp three-pin plug.


Does an 180 volt appliance require 240 volt supply?

No, it requires a 180 Volt supply. Most appliances work +/- 10%, in this case 162 Volts to 198 Volts. I would question whether your appliance is really 180 Volt. No country uses this as domestic supply, it is usually 110V or 220-240V.


Can 3 phase 440 volt 50Hz motor run on 380 volt 50Hz supply?

Yes, But in this case the current will rise up by about 15% at full load. So if you will use the motor to drive any mechanical load take in your consideration the mechanical load Power (KW) must not exceed 85% of motor power (KW)


Will a 500volt 50hz squirrel cage motor run on 380volts 50hz?

No, the voltage of 500 volts is too high to operate a 380 volt motor.

Can you replace a 5 volt power supply with a 10 volt power supply?

If the power supply has a 5 volt tap on the secondary side of the transformer, yes. If there is no tap and the secondary side of the power supply is only 10 volts then no, you can not substitute the higher voltage unit.


Will a 240V 60hz cooktop Summit Appliance Three Burner CR3240 work in with 220V 50hz power?

The resistive elements will work. On 240 volt 60 Hz North American ranges there are clock and timer controls. These are operated on 120 volts. That is why these ranges are fed with a three wire cable. Two hots (240 volts) and a neutral (120 volts to either "hot" leg). A 220 volt 50 Hz power supply will not have a split winding to supply the range with its 120 volt source.

Can 220V 50Hz lighting fittings be used on 220V 60Hz power supply?

Yes. the voltages will be compatible. Though in North America it will probably be hard to find 220 volt rated lighting fittings as the common voltage rating for lighting fixtures is 120 volts.
