Frequency is a factor for the size of the power transformer. Normally, a transformer operates better with 60 Hz, than with 50Hz, because there is better magnetig flux linkage between the transformer's coils.

Frequency of the alternating current, can also be used for counting time. So if the electric device is designed for 60 Hz , then it should be operated only with 60 Hz.

What formula would be used to convert at current transformer rating at 60Hz to 25Hz?

I don't understand your question. Are you asking how to convert from 60hz to 25hz using a transformer? That cannot be done. Frequency in = frequency out.


What is the need of frequency in electrical power?

Transformers are used in AC circuits and won't work for DC. A frequency of 60Hz is popular in the USA.


How does 50hz and 60hz differ from one another?

ONE THING FOR SURE THERE IS NO CHANGE IN VOLTAGE IF SAME EQUIPMENT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. THE ISSUE HERE IS THE CHANGING LOAD FREQUENCY 60HZ TO 50HZ OR VICE VERSA. FOR EXAMPLE THE MOTOR HORSEPOWER AND R.P.M. WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 90 AND 83 PERCENT OF THE NAMEPLATE SPECIFICATIONS, ALSO THE FULL LOAD RUNNING TORQUE WILL INCREASE APPROXIMATELY 8 PERCENT IF USED FROM 60HZ TO 50HZ.


What are the applications of bandstop filters?

for...example..you..have..frequency...range...of..f1-f2-f3-f4, now..your..work..requires..you..to..avoid..frequency..band..of..f2-f3.... what..you..will..do???you..have..to..avoid..or...reject..that..particular..band...so..you..will.. have..to..design..a..filter..circuit..according..to.the..requirement..


What is the function of ACtoAC convertor in doubly fed induction generator?

The Doubly Fed Indcution Generator (DFIG) is a very popular machine, since the output of the stator terminals is already at 60hz (no change in voltaje or frequency necessary). The matrix converter is used in the rotor side (wound rotor) in order to control the frequency and voltage magnitud to make the induction machine generate power at a wide range of speeds...

Can a 230V 50Hz Rice Cooker used in 220V 60Hz circuit?

Most likely, yes. Most devices has been manufactured with an idea that they will be used in areas where the supply power frequency is 50 or 60Hz.


What is the voltage and frequency used in US and why?

the voltage and frequency are 110v and 50(or)60hz because the devices which are invented in us are work at that voltage and it is efficient for that devices.


What is meant by antiflicker in campera 50hz and 60hz?

Antiflicker in cameras refers to a feature that reduces the appearance of flickering lights in photographs or videos. The numbers 50Hz and 60Hz refer to the frequency of alternating current used in different regions. Cameras with antiflicker capabilities can adjust their settings to match the frequency and minimize the impact of flickering lights caused by differences in electricity frequency.


Frequency of AC?

Why higher frequency greater than 60Hz cannot be used?

Frequencies higher than 60Hz are frequently used. Although there are radio waves lower than 60Hz, all of our radio transmissions are well above that. If you mean why frequencies for mains power supply above 60Hz can't be used, the answer is, they can. The higher the frequency though, the higher the loss although this doesn't really come into play until frequencies above several hundred Hz are used. 50Hz or 60Hz were chosen originally because of the mechanical nature or early generators.


What frequency range does the US use for FM broadcasting?

60hz frequency is being used in us


What size of wire should be used for 60Hz?

The frequency has no direct relationship to the size of wire. Wire is sized as to the amount of current a load draws in a circuit.


Why does the North American grid use the 60 Hz frequency in electrical generation?

There is no reason to prefer one Hz frequency over the other. In places like Japan both 50 and 60Hz frequencies co-exist together. It is simply the way North America has used since the development of the electrical power grid and there is no reason to need to go to a 50Hz system.
