What is Frequency in an Electrical System [UPDATED 2024]

⚙️Hardware Links

Welcome to this comprehensive guide on what System Frequency is, where it comes from and why it's very important to understand for anyone installing an Inverter into an electrical system.

If you are installing an inverter such as a Victron Multiplus or Quattro, you will need to accurately set the system frequency in order to make sure that the system and all its connected loads are properly in-sync with the grid, allowing them to run optimally and safely without damage.

Topic covered in this System Frequency tutorial:
• Magnetic Flow and Flux Density
• How an AC Generator works
• How Sine Waves work
• What Hertz (Hz) is
• Frequency Cycles
• Peak and RMS voltages
