Why 50Hz power supply is standard?

Answer Posted / parthiba kumar

The reason is that this is in the optimum range for power
supply on a national scale. The use of lower frequencies
would cause the size, weight and cost of the installed
equipment to increase and the flicker of lights to become
noticeable (as it was on early 25Hz systems). The use of
higher frequencies would cause increase in the operational
losses due to eddy currents, hysteresis, skin effect,
radiation etc. and reactive voltage drops.

We are facing the problem of communication failure between seimens drives and ABB DCS. Between drives and DCS on RLM -01 module for communication purpose. We found red blinking i.e error blinking in RLM -o1 module. So we replaced with new one but after one month same problem again came. So again we installed old RLM-01 module. Now also RED blinking is coming but sometimes drives are not tripping. What will be the cause for this problem?
