India followed British standards and moreover 220V is more economical and will have less transmission power losses. Power loss= square of Current multiplied by resistance of the conductor.
Those countries where cost of power generation is high they can go for 220 Volt domestic voltage and compromise little bit on safety. Countries where cost of production is less they can afford to have 110V for domestic as power losses even out to cost of production.
What else can I help you with?
Can i use a 220 volt ac in the basement to run branch circuits for 110 volt lighting?
Yes, you can use a 220-volt circuit in the basement to run branch circuits for 110-volt lighting. You would need to install a step-down transformer near the lighting circuits to reduce the voltage from 220 to 110 volts. Make sure to adhere to electrical codes and regulations when setting up the system to ensure safety and proper functioning.
Can you run 110 and 220 volt circuits in the same conduit?
Yes, 120 and 240 volts can be run in the same conduit.
Why a bulb of 60 watt glow in 220 volt of ac?
the 220 volt bulp in 220 volt ac current
How does a transformer work on a 120 volt coil contactor with 220 volt feed?
A transformer works by utilizing electromagnetic induction to convert voltage levels between circuits. In the case of a 120-volt coil contactor connected to a 220-volt feed, the transformer steps down the voltage from 220 volts to 120 volts. This is achieved by having a primary winding connected to the 220-volt feed and a secondary winding with fewer turns of wire that supplies the 120-volt output, allowing the contactor to operate safely and effectively without being damaged by the higher voltage.
What can go wrong with your fridge of 120 volt when it is pluged into 220 volt?
it may cause minor damage, such as burning out the fan motor, if unplugged quickly, or it may fry the compressor or any electronic circuits in the fridge.
Is France 110 volt or 220 volt?
France uses 220-240 volts for their electrical system.
Are electric cook tops 110 volt or 220 volt?
Electric cook tops typically require 220 volts for proper operation due to their high power requirements.
What is the recommended wire size for a 220 volt circuit according to the 220 volt wire size chart?
The recommended wire size for a 220 volt circuit according to the 220 volt wire size chart is typically 10 gauge wire for a circuit with a maximum of 30 amps.
Can you use a 12 volt bulb instead of a 220 volt?
No.
Can you use Nintendo DSi on 110 volt and 220 volt?
no
