Tips: Where is 60 Hz (Hertz) or 50 Hz (Hertz) being used?
The US is not the only country 60 Hz is used. It is used throughout North America, much of Mexico, parts of Central and South America, and parts of Japan. This was not always the standard in the US, either. As late as the 1940's, Southern California Edison used 50 Hz, and 25 Hz systems existed in Ohio. Several other frequencies were used, too. Standardization on 60 Hz didn't come about quickly. There's a similar story behind the adoption of 50 Hz in most of the rest of the world, with several different frequencies having been used in Europe before they standardized on 50 Hz. Most of Asia followed Europe, because they adopted similar equipment and standards, especially everywhere the British Empire went (India, Pakistan, China, Sri Lanka, Malaysia). Other countries that wanted to interconnect with these early systems would have had an incentive to choose the same frequencies.
