Why Power generation in India is at 50Hz while in America
its 60Hz so is there any advantage/Disadvantage of this ??
Answer Posted / thuranga
hey guys I found another answer for it......
if we consider the temperature parameters of the
America....then it is almost cool all through the
year,excepting 2 to 3 months maximum.
we all know that in conductors, heating the conductors will
lower its resistance,similarly,cooling also increases the
resistance.
so for preventing the losses, the driving current must be
high, but to maintain the power constant the voltage is
reduced to 110V. So to make the current high,frequency will
be high,and they found that losses were low on operation of
equipment at 60Hz than at 50Hz.
but when u take tropical places almost the whole operation
is with 50Hz.
but here arises another question that,equator passes through
America also,but even then they use 60Hz for their operation.?
My answer is, there will be no different power generations
with different ratings of voltage and frequencies,as all the
states are interconnected just similar to other countries to
meet the demand of power.
so for small number of states the whole country is not going
to change the operation of frequency.
