  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. Electric power distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_distribution

    Most of the Americas use 60 Hz AC, the 120/240 volt split-phase system domestically and three phase for larger installations. North American transformers usually power homes at 240 volts, similar to Europe's 230 volts. It is the split-phase that allows use of 120 volts in the home. Japan's utility frequencies are 50 Hz and 60 Hz.

  4. Voltage converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_converter

    Transformers do not change the frequency of electricity; in many regions with 100–120 V, electricity is supplied at 60 Hz, and 210–240 V regions tend to use 50 Hz. This may affect operation of devices which depend on mains frequency (some audio turntables and mains-only electric clocks, etc., although modern equipment is less likely to ...

    Amtrak’s 60 Hz traction power system operates along the Northeast Corridor between New Haven, Connecticut, [note 1] and Boston, Massachusetts. This system was built by Amtrak in the late 1990s and supplies locomotives with power from an overhead catenary system at 25 kV alternating current with at 60 Hz, the standard frequency in North America.

    A synchronous electric motor is an AC electric motor in which, at steady state, [1] ... Single-phase 60 Hz 1800 RPM synchronous motor for Teletype machine, ...

  7. Mains electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity

    Around 1893 the Westinghouse Electric Company in the United States and AEG in Germany decided to standardize their generation equipment on 60 Hz and 50 Hz respectively, eventually leading to most of the world being supplied at one of these two frequencies. Today most 60 Hz systems deliver nominal 120/240 V, and most 50 Hz nominally 230 V.
