Everything about Utility frequency

Frequency used on standard electricity grid in a given area

The utility frequency, (power) line frequency or mains frequency 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. In large parts of the world this is 50 Hz, although in the Americas and a handful of countries in Asia it is typically 60 Hz. Current usage by country or region is given in the list of mains electricity by country. Wikipedia →
