Voltage and AC Frequency
More than likely, when designing a wine cellar refrigeration system the question of available hertz never comes up. This is because throughout North America power is supplied at a standard 60 hz. When designing Wine Storage Cooling Systems for hospitality companies, restaurant chains and wine stores or possible home owners that have locations in other countries it is an important question to take account of.
In North America the frequency of electricity is 60 hz. While there is no global standardization, Nicola Tesla determined 60 hertz was the best frequency for AC power. While Telsa preferred 220V, Edison suggested that 110V was wiser considering safety concerns.
Some US Cellar Refrigeration Systems equipment may need to be special ordered, modified, or custom made to order. This can impact lead times significantly at different times of the year.
