HF HV to LF? Converting High Frequency to Low Frequency Currents

AI Thread Summary
To convert high frequency (HF) currents to low frequency (LF) line currents (60Hz), the process typically involves converting the HF to direct current (DC) and then back to alternating current (AC) at the desired frequency. There are no straightforward methods for direct conversion, as most systems utilize an AC-DC-AC approach. High power conversion systems, like the UK-France Interconnector, exemplify this method, although they maintain the same frequency without phase locking. Additionally, some countries, such as Japan, utilize AC-DC-AC systems for cross-border power exchange between different frequencies. Overall, IGBT devices are commonly employed in these conversion processes.

HF HV to LF?

I wanted to say that I have searched the site and it is very imformative, glad to be apart of it.

That being said I had a question, what means would you use to convert high frequency currents to that of line current(60hz)?? I have searched and searched on google and have not found a answer to what seems like a simple question. Thanks ahead of time and any advice on what is usually used for this purpose.

Why would you want to do that?

What power are we talking about? What HF frequency?

Basically you have to convert to DC and then AC at 60 Hz.. I don't think there is an easy direct way.

There are AC - DC -AC (same frequency but not locked in phase) high power conversion systems in the World like the UK-France Interconnector.

There may be AC(50) - AC(60) conversion systems in the World ,,cross border inport/export of power and in countries like Japan which use both frequencies but I suspect those are also AC-DC(rough)-AC. They use IGBT devices.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
