Why Power generation in India is at 50Hz while in America

Answer Posted / vishvesh

well, for the safety reason of the consumer in the US, they
decided to kept voltage level at 110V a.c. at the consumer
end. but to avoid distribution loss and over heating of the
conductors they kept frequency of AC supply at 60 Hz. to
reduce that losses.
