Frequency is a function of the speed of the alternator and the number of poles. The symbol for 'hertz' is 'Hz', not'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 is 180 Hz?

Hz = hertz ,which is a measure of frequency. It is equivalent to cycles per second. Your home power is 60 Hz if you live in USA.


What is the industry voltage in Uganda?

240 V @ 50 Hz (US and Canada are 120 V @ 60 Hz)


What is the frequency of the secondary of a 230 volt step down transformer?

The frequency is dependant upon what electrical grid that you are connecting the transformerto. If you are connected to a 50 Hz grid, the transformer will output a voltage at 50 Hz. The same thing with the 60 Hz grid, the transformer will output a voltage at 60 Hz.


Is it okay to connect 50 hz to 60 hz?

Assuming that you are referring to a piece of equipment designed for 60-hz power being connected to a 50-hz power line (common overseas), It depends on the application. If the load is a DC power supply, they are often rated for both 50 and 60 hz. If the load is a motor made for 60 hz, for example, it will run about 17% slower at 50 hz than at 60 hz due to the design of induction motors, and at higher current because of lower inductive reactance. If the load is fluorescent lighting, it may display an annoying flicker, and the ballasts will probably die an early death. If the load is transformer-powered, you'll have the same current problems as you get with the motor. OTOH, if you want to connect a 50-hz load to a 60-hz supply, it has its own issues. E.g., the motor will run faster and cannot be loaded as heavily. Best bet: research to see if the piece of equipment is rated for both frequencies.

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.

Yes, that system is what it is designed to operate on.


How do you run a 460 volt 60Hz motor with 460 volt 50Hz power?

If 50 hz is applied instead of 60 Hz, the speed of the motor will reduce by 10 hz equivalent. If you still want to keep the output speed equivalent to 60 Hz, you will have to use suitable gear box or so, to increase the speed to 60 hz equivalent.
