Probably because Egypt came under the British sphere of influence, whereas KSA came under the US sphere of influence.

What is mains frequency in India?

50Hz


Is 5kva the same as 50hz?

No. 5Kva is a power rating, standing for 5 kilovolt/Amps, 5,000 v/a. This is how much a generator or tranformer can handle or output. 50Hz is the frequency of an A/C waveform, power supply, generally used in the UK and influenced countries. 50 cycles per second.


What is the frequency?

Frequency is defined as the number of cycles per minute. Ex: for a sine wave from " 0 to pi " is a cycle, and this repeats periodically within a interval of time. if frequency of a signal is 50Hz, then you can say that this signal repeats 50 time's a minute..


How 50Hz frequency is selected for a generator design?

Frequency is a function of engine speed and the number of poles in the generator end. For instance, a speed of 1500 RPM turning a four-pole generator will produce 50 hz. The formula is: Frequency = (poles/2) * (RPM/60) From the formula, you can see that the same frequency would be produced by a two-pole generator spinning at 3000 RPM.


Can you use UK appliances in the us?

Not unless the appliance is rated to be used with the two different power supplies. The US uses 120v, 60 Hz if it plugs into a receptacle, and possibly 240v, 60Hz if it is hard wired. The UK uses 240v, 50Hz whether it plugs in or is hard wired. These two power systems are NOT compatible. You may use a US appliance in the UK, and vice versa, only if the appliance is dual rated, i.e. the appliance says 120v/60Hz AND 240v/50Hz on the nameplate. If the appliance only specifies one power supply, it can only be used on that power supply. If this is the case, you may be able to use a travel adapter to operate the appliance.

Frequency response curve of RC coupled amplifier?

at low frequency less than 50hz the voltage gain decreases with decreasing frequency and at mid frequency{50hz to 20khz} the voltage gain is uniform because resistor value are independent of frequency change and at the high frequency votage gain falls.
