AC vs DC

And I just push it out the door... what T&D does with it is their buisness.;D

 

Does it matter?

 

Since phase angle is at the forefront, perhaps an explanation?

No need for HV or 1 legged 277- just a basic.

Thanks

 

Indeed it does- greatly.

 

Ok, explain to me the voltage/current phase angle relationships in an inductive DC circuit...

 

well your answer would be near zero (full output), but what part would you like me to explain to you?

 

All of it or as much as you can...

 

since I am no expert in HVDC, from what I understand of it is as follows:

load and source- dependent upon usage. I do not know the actual displacement of HVDC. with LVDC near 0 is max output.

care to explain?

 

You disagreed with him that DC is more efficient at transmitting... it is because of inductance and capacitance of AC power. He is asking you to explain inductance and capacitance of DC power if you disagree.

 

Well geeze I dont know the answer to that concering HVDC. I know what it would be concerning LVDC over long runs vrs. AC- I can actually mesure this.

But I am not a HVDC line tech.

I realize that one can use HV transformers and ramp the volatge way up, but this is very expensive over the long haul- rectification and all that is involved, and I am concered with power distribution- seems you would need many more of them vrs. what we now have.

See, we are learning.
