Supplies are nearly always 50 Hz or 60 Hz. India's choice of 50 Hz probably goes back to the days when India took its technology infrastucture from the UK, so they probably imported the choice of 50 Hz at that time.

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 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.


Can you use 60 Hz Field Transformer in 50 Hz supply?

The electrical impedance of the windings would be so different running at 400 Hz instead of 50 Hz that the transformer's output voltage and current-carrying capacity would be very different to what it was originally designed to handle. The only safe way to experiment with a transformer that was designed to operate at standard mains voltage and frequency would be in an electronics laboratory. In a laboratory a safe method of operation and the right equipment and test instruments could be used. The method would probably be to vary the transformer's: * load, starting from a high resistance value, * supply voltage, starting from zero, and * supply frequency, starting from 50 Hz so that the resulting output voltage and current could be measured. The test results could then be compared with theoretical calculations of what the effects are likely to be of using a supply frequency of 400 Hz instead of 50 Hz.

If 60 hz ac supply used in India?

Yes, in India, the standard alternating current (AC) supply frequency is 50 Hz, not 60 Hz. Devices designed for use with a 60 Hz supply may not operate optimally or safely in India without proper adaptation.


Can you operate a motor of 575 v 60 Hz with a power supply of 575v 50 Hz?

Operating a motor designed for 60 Hz on a 50 Hz power supply can lead to issues such as overheating and reduced efficiency. It's recommended to use a motor that matches the frequency of the power supply for optimal performance and to prevent damage to the motor. In this case, it's best to avoid operating a 575 V 60 Hz motor on a 575 V 50 Hz power supply.

What voltage and Hz does India use?

Voltage in India is 230V / 50 Hz


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.


What Hz does the Canadian electrical power supply service use?

The North American grid operates on 60 Hertz.


What happen if you connected 50hz ballast to 50 hz power supply?

If you connect a 50 Hz ballast to a 50 Hz power supply, it will operate normally as both the ballast and the power supply are designed to work at the same frequency. The ballast will regulate the current to the lamp, ensuring proper operation and efficiency. However, if the ballast is not compatible with the specific type of lamp or if there are voltage mismatches, it may lead to inadequate performance or even damage. Always ensure compatibility to avoid any issues.


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.


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.


What is the power voltage in Indonesia?

Since 1998, the standard mains supply throughout Indonesia is 230 volts, 50 Hz.


What is the effect when 60 hz motor connect to 50 hz power?

When a 60 Hz motor is connected to a 50 Hz power supply, it will typically run at a lower speed, approximately 83% of its rated speed, since motor speed is proportional to the frequency of the supply. This can lead to overheating, as the motor may draw more current to maintain torque, potentially causing damage over time. Additionally, the motor may not perform efficiently, leading to reduced output and increased wear. Overall, operating a 60 Hz motor on a 50 Hz supply is generally not recommended without appropriate adjustments or modifications.
