"50 Hz" is the shortened form of "50 hertz" which means "50 cycles per second".

50 Hz is the frequency of alternating current (ac) used by national electricity power services in many countries in Europe and elsewhere in the world whilst in USA, Canada and many other countries it is 60 Hz.

Why 50 hz power supply in India?

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.

A 6 pole induction motor is connected to a 415v50hz mainsIt runs at a speed of 960 rpmCalculate the answer of synchronous speed?

Answer 1000 RPM or 16.667 HZ, 50 Hz * 60 = 3000 RPM 3000 / 3 = 1000 RPM, or 50 HZ / 20 (1/3 of 50 Hz) * 60 seconds. Or Hz * 20 ( converts to RPM) For 4 pole then, Hz * 30 = RPM For 8 pole, Hz * 15 = RPM
