  2. Mains electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity

    Today most 60 Hz systems deliver nominal 120/240 V, and most 50 Hz nominally 230 V. The significant exceptions are in Brazil, which has a synchronized 60 Hz grid with both 127 V and 220 V as standard voltages in different regions, [ 20 ] and Japan, which has two frequencies : 50 Hz for East Japan and 60 Hz for West Japan.

  3. Utility frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility_frequency

    The waveform of 230 V and 50 Hz compared with 120 V and 60 Hz. The utility frequency, (power) line frequency (American English) or mains frequency (British English) is the nominal frequency of the oscillations of alternating current (AC) in a wide area synchronous grid transmitted from a power station to the end-user.

  5. Single-phase electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-phase_electric_power

    Standard frequencies of single-phase power systems are either 50 or 60 Hz. Special single-phase traction power networks may operate at 16.67 Hz or other frequencies to power electric railways. [ 1 ]

  6. High voltage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_voltage

    Specifically, ANSI C84.1-2020 defines high voltage as 115 kV to 230 kV, extra-high voltage as 345 kV to 765 kV, and ultra-high voltage as 1,100 kV. [2] British Standard BS 7671 :2008 defines high voltage as any voltage difference between conductors that is higher than 1000 VAC or 1500 V ripple-free DC, or any voltage difference between a ...

  7. Split-phase electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-phase_electric_power

    Split-phase distribution is used on Amtrak's 60 Hz traction power system in the Northeast Corridor between New York and Boston. Two separate wires are run along the track, the contact wire for the locomotive and an electrically separate feeder wire.

  8. 60 Hz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/60_Hz

    60 Hz is a frequency that may refer to: the utility frequency (power line frequency) in the Americas and parts of Asia; the frame rate of video broadcasts in the ...
