Baluncore replied to the thread How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?.Ferranti was only hired to design the first. Sebastian Ziani de Ferranti was hired by the London Electric Supply Corporation, to design... -
Baluncore replied to the thread How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?.48V, 400Hz was mainly used in aircraft for instrumentation, gyros, synchros, resolvers, and magnetic amplifiers, all of which were, in...

Baluncore replied to the thread How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?.There is a reason why they originally settled on 73 volts. Maybe insulation was expensive, while silver was free.

Baluncore replied to the thread How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?.But only on Earth. Back on their home planet, where 80% of their thin atmosphere was argon and neon, with many cosmic rays, there would...

Baluncore replied to the thread How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?.AlexB23 is correct, Australia now employs the international standard, 230V at 50Hz. There is a broad voltage tolerance, so in many...

Baluncore replied to the thread Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?.Yes. Ohm's Law. I = V / R. Current is equal to voltage, divided by resistance. The main AC supply distributes a standard voltage. The...

Baluncore replied to the thread How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?.If they were so silly as to standardise on such a low voltage and high current system, I doubt they would have advanced electrical...

Baluncore replied to the thread How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?.Because wiring heat losses are W = I²·R, aluminium wire would work, but never steel for the conductors, more likely copper or silver.
-
Baluncore replied to the thread How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?.Instead of 115V 60Hz or 230V 50Hz ? For the same power, currents would be higher, wires would need to be significantly heavier. Buy...

Baluncore replied to the thread What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?.Forget skin effect, it is irrelevant to the analysis. There will be no current flowing on the inner copper, as there is no equal and...
