Re: S-38B Tuning Shaft Query
There is another reason to use DC on very long power transmission lines, and this one is not necessary obvious¡­ On certain installations, and I believe that the Manitoba line is one, the length of

Re: S-38B Tuning Shaft Query
Yes ¨C because DC has no ¡°crest factor,¡± it makes greater efficient use of transmission. The peak, average, and RMS values for DC are all the same, reducing insulation requirements and

Oh, good to know a bit about that Bill. Now if I accidentally post a big image, and then go on line, and remove it, will it be purged from the system automatically, and it I delete the whole posting

Re: S-38B Tuning Shaft Query
Richard, no doubt there is still DC and maybe 25 cycle AC, but all this is limited to specific plants, maybe dedicated electric transportation, large mining and such. I have not seen any consumer

And in NYC, the last major use for DC was in the garment district ¨C lots of old textile machines used it. As you say, converters kept them going

Re: S-38B Tuning Shaft Query
Turns out the last DC in the US was Con Edison in NYC, discontinued in 2007. However converters were installed in some buildings to operate devices requiring DC. -- Richard Knoppow Los

Re: S-38B Tuning Shaft Query
Yea and now that the 1940s, 50s, etc have past most people have polarized outlets, so you now can polarize the plug properly, so you don¡¯t get a hot chassis. Sent: Wednesday, July 31, 2024

I am 83. Your problem with low frequencies is a new one to me, I will research it. Hearing loss has profound effects. It affects social intercourse and general awareness of the world you live

Re: S-38B Tuning Shaft Query
I hear reasonably well at 81, I think, but I have become sensitive to lower frequencies and if a performance uses heavy bass I have to use earplugs or leave to avoid pain. My wife uses hearing aids

Re: S-38B Tuning Shaft Query
Yes, reversal of the plug should move the chassis to the same potential as the neutral lead, which may or may not be at zero volts depending on how much current is flowing to other devices on the same
