Why the suply frequency in INDIA is 50HZ..

Answer / technic man

Simply Because the generators which are used from the
beginning of build a system , have a standard output
frequency 50HZ so all equipments and instruments you want to
supply it must have a standard freq. 50HZ
And if the generators have a standard output freq. 60Hz , so
all instruments also must have input frequency 60HZ.
that's the idea
And it has no relation with any technical issue

Why the suply frequency in INDIA is 50HZ..

Answer / lince v d

Synchronous generator will have maximum efficiency in a particular range of speed 3000-3600rpm,we have
supply frequency, f=pn/120,
where p=no of poles, n=rotating speed in rpm,
The generation at this high speed is possible with 2 no of poles, so the frequency at 3000rpm is f=2*3000/120 = 50hz and the frequency at 3600rpm is f=2*3600/120 = 60hz so the generation at higher efficiency is possible when the supply frequency is in the range of 50hz to 60hz, in India 50hz is the standard frequency.

Answer / swum

There are 3 types of losses constant n variable (dependent
on frequency) so if d frequency is increased variable losses
will increase. Also at higher frequency heating up of cables
can also take place.
