Steel Bar Processing Machinery Voltage in The World
Nov 30, 2021| Do you have such troubles, can machinery and equipment bought from abroad be used in your own country? If you are a distributor and have a multinational business, what kind of motor should be equipped for the customer's equipment?
This is about to talk about: What is the difference between the voltages used in different countries? Here we discuss the situation of industrial electricity use.
The first is the difference between single-phase electricity and three-phase electricity: In China, single-phase electricity is a general household electricity, and the voltage between the phase line and the neutral line is 220V. Three-phase electricity, industrial electricity is relatively large, any two voltages between the three wires are 380V.
Why are there two frequencies of 50Hz and 60Hz? It is because the United States and Britain adopts the British system, and the 12 system makes it use 60hz to facilitate counting. Europe, especially the industrial standard led by Germany and France, adopts the metric system. The German machine world exports, and the German DIN standard has almost become Standards of all countries in the world. In Germany, the decimal system is used, so the frequency is 50 Hz.
The following are the standard industrial voltages of some countries:

GUTE Machinery has been exporting equipment to various countries since 2005 and has accumulated a lot of experience. Most countries can use 380V/50HZ/3Ph equipment, and some countries need to modify the motor. For example, the Philippines needs 220V/60HZ equipment/3-phase electricity or 1-phase electricity.
