56 Another Example Early in the history or electricity, Thomas Edison's General Electric company was distributing DC electricity at 110 volts in the United States. Then Nikola Tesla the devised a system of three-phase AC electricity at 240 volts. Threephase meant that three alternating currents slightly out of phase were combined in order to even out the great variations in voltage occurring in AC electricity. He had calculated that 60 cycles per second or 60Hz was the most effective frequency. Tesla later compromised to reduce the voltage to 110 volts for safety reasons. EE 209 Fundamentals of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Prof. Dr. O. SEVAİOĞLU, Page 56

57 Another Example Europe goes to 50 Hz: With the backing of the Westinghouse Company, Tesla's AC system became the standard in the United States. Meanwhile, the German company AEG started generating electricity and became a virtual monopoly in Europe. They decided to use 50 Hz instead of 60 Hz to better fit their metric standards, but they kept the voltage at 110 V. Unfortunately, 50 Hz AC has greater losses and is not as efficient as 60 HZ. EE 209 Fundamentals of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Prof. Dr. O. SEVAİOĞLU, Page 57

58 Another Example Due to the slower speed, 50Hz electrical generators are 20 % less effective than 60Hz generators. Electrical transmission at 50 Hz is about % less efficient. 50Hz transformers require larger windings and 50 Hz electric motors are less efficient than those meant to run at 60Hz. They are more costly to make to handle the electrical losses and the extra heat generated at the lower frequency. Europe goes to 220 V Europe stayed at 110 V AC until the 1950s, just after World War II. They then switched over to 220 V for better efficiency in electrical transmission. Great Britain not only switched to 220 V, but they also changed from 60Hz to 50 Hz to follow the European lead. Since many people did not yet have electrical appliances in Europe after the war, the change-over was not that expensive for them. U.S. stays at 110 V, 60Hz EE 209 Fundamentals of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Prof. Dr. O. SEVAİOĞLU, Page 58

59 Another Example The United States also considered converting to 220 V for home use but felt it would be too costly, due to all the 110 V electrical appliances people had. A compromise was made in the U.S. in that 220 V would come into the house where it would be split to 110 V to power most appliances. Certain household appliances such as the electric stove and electric clothes dryer would be powered at 220 V. EE 209 Fundamentals of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Prof. Dr. O.
