The common domestic power supplied in India is given by which of the following?

The correct answer is 220 V, 50 Hz.

Key Points:

• The government of India chooses the home power supply based on the environment in which we live and the supply cables that we employ.
• This configuration applies to any electrical appliance we use in our nation.
• The main voltage in India is 220V, and it alternates at a rate of 50 cycles per second.
• It is comparable to several of the nations in Europe.
• Another reason for the widespread adoption of 220V is that it has a smaller distribution footprint and costs less to distribute.
• We utilize high-resistance lines to distribute this voltage, hence the power will be quite large because power is calculated as the square of voltage times resistance. 

Additional Information:

• If we compare the plug points between the USA and India, we will see that India has a 50Hz mains frequency whereas the USA has 60Hz.
• We must be aware that the frequency of the AC mains has a significant impact on a circuit's impedance.
• Therefore, the mains frequency must not change.
• All electrical goods created for the Indian market are set up to operate best at 50Hz.
