What is difference between 220v/50Hz & 120V/60Hz?

Answer Posted / umar

220V/50Hz system is used in india and Pakistan while
120V/60Hz is used in KSA and USA.

The advantage of 120V over 220V is human safety factor i.e.
less insulation required and less danger of electric shock
but it has the disadvantage that the initial cost increases.

Also size of electric equipment reduces with increase in
frequency such transformers etc.
