It may be one of the following reasons:
- It may In US, the frequency is 60Hz and 110V supply, but in India is about 240V, 50Hz supply. For a particular load say 100kW the current will be 0.416A. But in US the same load will consume about 0.9A. Here the thing is the heat produced in the cable because of the flow of current will be large in US compare to India. Since US is a cold country they can use this level but not in India.
- Moreover, once standardisation is fixed for Indian (50Hz) by British, so its continuing and in America its 60 Hz according to their standardisation.
- Its only because, too low value will create fluctuation in apparatus like Bulb starts blinking(persistence of eye is 15 Hz) and too high value will lead more hysteresis and eddy current losses in many machines.

∙ 12y agoThe British people were using 50 Hz. As India was under the rule of British Government India had to follow the same. But Americans were the same British people landed in a new region. So they started doing everything with new thoughts. I hope this would be the right reason.

What is mains frequency in India?
50Hz
Which is the smallest coin in India?
It used to be. Now it is not used anymore.
Why mentioned 1000000 to calculate accident frequency rate in India?
500 manpower X 40 hours a week X 50 weeks per year = 1000000
What is 60 Hz used for?
50 Hz is the frequency of alternating current (ac) used by national electricity power services in Europe and several other world areas whilst 60 Hz is used in USA, Canada and many other countries in the world. 50 Hz means or specifies "50 cycles per second". Hz is the international technical abbreviation for the scientific unit of frequency, the hertz.
India's neighbouring countries and their currencies?
The currency used in India is the Rupee. The currency is distributed by the Reserve Bank of India and is available in several denominations such as 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, and 1,000.
What is mains frequency in India?
50Hz
What is the frequency of ac mains in INDIA?
The standard AC mains in India is 230V/50 Hz .
What the frequency of a grid does?
50 herzes in INDIA and 60 hz in USA
What frequency rate is used for three phase operation?
Can be any frequency but is most likely to be the grid frequency - 50/60 Hz.
What is the standard electricity service voltage used in India?
In most parts of the world this is 50 Hz, although in the Americas it is typically 60 Hz. Current usage by country or region is given in the list of mains power around the world at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility_frequency
What frequency Hz is used for the national electricity service in Israel?
50 hertz.
Which is the smallest coin in India?
It used to be. Now it is not used anymore.
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.
A wave has frequency of 50 Hz what is the period of the wave?
Period = reciprocal of frequency ( 1 / frequency ) = 1/50 = 0.02 second = 20 milliseconds
What kind of electromagnetic waves are used by an FM radio?
VHF (very high frequency) radio waves are used by the FM radio, which has a frequency range from 30MHz to 300 MHz. The frequency of an FM broadcast station (more strictly its assigned nominal centre frequency) is usually an exact multiple of 100 kHz. In most of the Americas and the Carribean, only odd multiples are used. In some parts of Europe, Greenland and Africa, only even multiples are used. In Italy, multiples of 50 kHz are used. There are other unusual and obsolete standards in some countries, including 0.001, 0.01, 0.03, 0.074, 0.5, and 0.3 MHz.
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 the industrial frequency?
Industrial frequency, as used in Communications, aka the ISM band, is the frequency of signals between 900Mhz to around 2.4Ghz of encoded, compressed, or analog signals... industrial frequency can also refer to the common local power grid frequency (usually 60 or 50 Hz)
