  2. 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.

  3. Mains electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity

    Other three-phase voltages, up to 830 volts, are occasionally used for special-purpose systems such as oil well pumps. Large industrial motors (say, more than 250 hp or 150 kW) may operate on medium voltage. On 60 Hz systems a standard for medium voltage equipment is 2,400/4,160 V whereas 3,300 V is the common standard for 50 Hz systems.

  4. 576i - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/576i

    576i is a standard-definition digital video mode, [1] originally used for digitizing 625 line analogue television in most countries of the world where the utility frequency for electric power distribution is 50 Hz.

  5. Ground loop (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_loop_(electricity)

    The induced alternating current flowing through the resistance of the cable ground conductor will cause a small AC voltage drop across the cable ground. This is added to the signal applied to the input of the next stage. In audio equipment, the 50 or 60 Hz interference may be heard as a hum in the speakers. In a video system it may cause ...

  6. Skin effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_effect

    Gold is a good conductor with a resistivity of 2.44 × 10 −8 Ω·m and is essentially nonmagnetic: = 1, so its skin depth at a frequency of 50 Hz is given by = = Lead, in contrast, is a relatively poor conductor (among metals) with a resistivity of 2.2 × 10 −7 Ω·m , about 9 times that of gold.

  7. Extremely low frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremely_low_frequency

    [2] [3] In atmospheric science, an alternative definition is usually given, from 3 Hz to 3 kHz. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] In the related magnetosphere science, the lower-frequency electromagnetic oscillations (pulsations occurring below ~3 Hz) are considered to lie in the ULF range, which is thus also defined differently from the ITU radio bands .

  8. Mains hum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_hum

    Mains hum, electric hum, cycle hum, or power line hum is a sound associated with alternating current which is twice the frequency of the mains electricity.The fundamental frequency of this sound is usually double that of fundamental 50/60 Hz, i.e., 100/120 Hz, depending on the local power-line frequency.

  9. Paintball equipment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paintball_equipment

    Technically, CO 2 and HPA can propel the paintball, but when high rates of fire are attained, liquid is sucked into the marker which can damage or even destroy electrical components inside the marker such as the solenoid. Never leave a CO 2 container in sunlight, as the heat will cause the gas to expand to a dangerous level. The tanks include ...
