The choice of Frequency (1)
50 Hz and 60 Hz
•Between 1885 and 1890 in the U.S.A.:
•140, 133⅓, 125, 83 ⅓, 66 ⅔, 50, 40, 33 ⅓, 30, 25 en 16⅔ Hz
•Nowadays:
•60 Hz in North America, Brazil and Japan (has also 50 Hz!)
•50 Hz in most other countries
•25 Hz Railways (Amtrak)
•16⅔ Hz Railways
•400 Hz Oil rigs, ships and airplanes
1. Introduction to Power System Analysis | 33
The choice of Frequency (2)
50 Hz and 60 Hz
•A too low frequency, like 10 or 20 Hz causes flicker
•A too high frequency
•Increases the hysteresis losses:
•Increases the eddy current losses:
•Increases the cable and line impedance
