Pro's and cons: Higher voltages transmit power further with less power loss and less voltage drop. Lower voltages require less insulation (a factor in motors), are cheaper to build ight bulbs, and is safer for leakage currents (fewer problems when insulation goes bad). Higher frequencies require smaller transformers to handle the same amount of power. Lower frequencies require slower moving equipment, which means it'll last longer, and makes standard single pole motors run slower. A "standard" single-pole AC motor will operate just under 3600 RPM at 60 Hz, and just under 3000 RPM for 50 Hz. 220 volts will bounce you off the wall harder. Mark in Utah
