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.

If electricity has a frequency of 60Hz it?

If electricity has a frequency of 60Hz, it means that the current changes direction 60 times per second. This is the standard frequency for power supply in North America. The frequency of electricity is important in determining the performance of electrical equipment and appliances.


What can use to change a 110v 60cycle inverter 50cycle?

You can use a frequency converter to change the output frequency of the inverter from 60Hz to 50Hz. This will allow you to use devices that are rated for 50Hz frequency with your 110V 60Hz inverter. Just make sure to select a frequency converter that is compatible with the power output of your inverter.


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.


60Hz has higher power than 50Hz?

Not necessarily. The power consumption of a device is determined by its voltage and current. The frequency of the electrical supply (e.g. 50Hz or 60Hz) does not directly affect the power consumption of the device, although it may impact certain types of equipment like motors and transformers that are designed for specific frequencies.


How is 60hz in decibel?

Hz is a measure of frequency. Decibel is a measure of loudness/volume/amplitude. The two can not be equated.
