50 hz is better .At this freq several losses in motors and power sys r reduced a lot when compared to 60 hz .also in 60hz sys the laminations must made thinner increasing initial cost.the advantage of 60 hz is ,we know that in present turbo alternator sys speed obtained is much higher than 3000rpm so this can utilised upto 3600rpm in caseof 60 hz sys

Why does the North American grid use the 60 Hz frequency in electrical generation?
There is no reason to prefer one Hz frequency over the other. In places like Japan both 50 and 60Hz frequencies co-exist together. It is simply the way North America has used since the development of the electrical power grid and there is no reason to need to go to a 50Hz system.
Photon energy and frequency increases as the wavelength of light?
The energy increases as the frequency increases.The frequency decreases as the wavelength increases.So, the energy decreases as the wavelength increases.
Why is the frequency of current 50Hz in India against 60Hz in the USA What should be done to make it 60Hz in India?
A lot of points are factored when a utility decides to choose 50 or 60 hertz, sometimes it may even been a political rather than a technical one. We have seen various types of wars on measurements types of units used or have been an interested but an innocent invitee in format wars in electronics like 8 track v/s cassette, v2000 (an excellent system) V/s the betamax (also with some notable features) and the vhs. Now we are also extended into the video disc formats. However if we were to look closely many of us will agree that 60hz is a good choice. All inductors and motors could be smaller, and the benefits will encompass a wide array of electrical and electronic goods to which the changes will almost be transparent. But it should be noted that most critical and large capital intensive plants and machinery, including certain medical equipment, will not take too kindly to such a change, which, besides straying from the critical specs, or worse still may give up altogether, unless expensive time consuming replacement or an equally complicated and efficient cycle converter is installed before the system is connected to the mains. As a historical note, 60Hz was originally chosen in the US to help market AC power systems to customers. The ploy was that a clock could run using a synchronous AC motor and at 60Hz, the gear mechanism would be greatly simplified. Then the job of keeping accurate time fell to the electricity company by maintaining a constant frequency. Prior to this, many different frequencies had been tried. As regards 50 Hz in India it is descendant of the British Imperial system. Technically speaking operating 50 Hz versus 60 Hz would not make much difference but, to achieve it, either the prime movers - for example steam turbines, gas turbines and diesel engines - would need to be able to tolerate a 20% increase in speed or the alternators they drive - which produce the electricity - would need to be completely rebuilt with extra poles and windings so that they could continue to run at the same rotational speed. The costs of doing such re-engineering would be enormous and could not be justified as "economically worthwhile" from the point of view of actual necessity, quite apart from the severe problems which would be caused to assuring operational continuity of service whilst such changes were made. Further, for any load equipment - machines, appliances, etc. - that have reactive components (capacitors/inductors), the effects of a frequency change from 50 Hz to 60 Hz on such impedances would not be trivial and would significantly alter their in-circuit behaviour. This means changes would have to be made to the sizes all such reactive components to achieve the same effects at the higher frequency. Doing that would be yet another enormous cost of conversion from 50 Hz to 60 Hz which could not be justified as economically worthwhile.

Is 380 votage considered 50hz or 60hz?
Voltage has nothing to with frequency
What is meant by antiflicker in campera 50hz and 60hz?
Antiflicker in cameras refers to a feature that reduces the appearance of flickering lights in photographs or videos. The numbers 50Hz and 60Hz refer to the frequency of alternating current used in different regions. Cameras with antiflicker capabilities can adjust their settings to match the frequency and minimize the impact of flickering lights caused by differences in electricity frequency.
How does 50hz and 60hz differ from one another?
ONE THING FOR SURE THERE IS NO CHANGE IN VOLTAGE IF SAME EQUIPMENT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. THE ISSUE HERE IS THE CHANGING LOAD FREQUENCY 60HZ TO 50HZ OR VICE VERSA. FOR EXAMPLE THE MOTOR HORSEPOWER AND R.P.M. WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 90 AND 83 PERCENT OF THE NAMEPLATE SPECIFICATIONS, ALSO THE FULL LOAD RUNNING TORQUE WILL INCREASE APPROXIMATELY 8 PERCENT IF USED FROM 60HZ TO 50HZ.
Can you use a 220v-60hz microwave in Australia?
Yes, using a 220v-60hz microwave in Australia is fine. The voltage of alternating current supplied to homes in Australia is 220v. The frequency of the voltage is 50hz.
How do you step the frequency from 50hz to 60hz?
The frequency of a grid system is set by the rotation of the generating equipment. If you have a small generator, the frequency can be increased by increasing the speed in revolutions per minute of the engine driving the generator.
Can a 230V 50Hz Rice Cooker used in 220V 60Hz circuit?
Most likely, yes. Most devices has been manufactured with an idea that they will be used in areas where the supply power frequency is 50 or 60Hz.
Why doesn't my 110v Wahl hair clippers work correctly when plugged into a power converter converting 220 v to 110 the screw on the side has no effect?
The internal working of the motor is designed for 110V/60Hz. Your stepdown converter is from 220V/50Hz to 110V/50Hz. Frequency converters from 50Hz to 60Hz are very expensive (many times the cost of a new clipper). Therefore it is better you get a clipper designed for 220V/50Hz. If you still like to put your clipper to use, then the most cost effective solution would be to get a "car inverter" that would convert 12V DC to 110V/60Hz AC.
Is majora's mask Pal in 60Hz?
No 50Hz
Can you plug a 230V 50Hz bread maker bought in Germany into a 220V 60Hz outlet in Manila Philippines?
no way because frequency cannot change
What is the difference between 50Hz and 60Hz?
