why the supply power frequency is 50hz in india? where as it
is 60hz in US?

Answer Posted / engineering.force

Basically we have stuck ourselves to the british parameters.
the britishers used to operate on 50 Hz. most of the
european countries which were under the british raj have
adopted their system of 50 Hz. But with proper research, we
can also operate on 60 Hz.
