Ian,
Are you sure about that? whilst I know that higher voltages result in a
lower loss, (hence the Supergrid 220Kv Distribution pylon I can see from my
window)
I was pretty sure that the losses experienced by simple DC will always be
higher than an AC waveform?
Going back to history, isn't that why Tesla's AC distribution was better
than Edison's DC plants? because you could get power further away from the
generating station?
Ian.
