Why in india freq. is 50HZ & in U.S.A. it is 60HZ?

Answer Posted / sri244

Yes India freq. is 50Hz,because of our started electricity in 1902 in SIVASAMUDRAM from Karnataka.That is 4.5 mega watts. so
on that time we are choosing 50 cycles per second.But in u.s.a. it is 60HZ there is small power losses occur.NOw in India we change in 50HZ but it is not possible. So that's way we are using "power factor improved techniques".So this technique used to minimise power lossess.
