Jun 30 at 6:58 comment added MrGerber 16 2/3 Hz, to be precise
Jun 29 at 21:25 comment added Uwe There are single phase overhead power lines run at only 16.7 Hz in Europe used to power the electrified rail networks. If you see pylons with 2 or 4 conductors it is 16,7 Hz. Pylons with 3, 6 or 9 conductors are used for 50 Hz. But Japan has two separate power grids with 50 and 60 Hz. Transfer of power between both grids is possible only using conversion to DC.
