Re: Clue
Thanks for the info on HVDC.
The way I took it the loss and inability to step effectively is what killed DC because placing power plants locally killed the idea for most Americans. While AC could be transmitted at high voltage and stepped down to low voltage locally.
Either way, that's why I liked BellSouth's FTTC engineering. It used 22ga cabling to power 130VDC systems. I could see an eventual move to FTTH from there could possibly allow for telco provided power to the house (which was within 1kft always). |
