Inverter for the CF?? I was working on this inverter a week or two ago. I wonder if I could fit it into the CF?

When I first saw it I thought of something out of Doctor Who. The two guys in the blue cherry picker in the first picture gives an indication of the size. It's actually the UK side of the UK - Netherlands interconnector. The UK imports electricity from the Netherlands (okay, it can go the otherway too but as the UK is short on generating capability it's nearly always from the Netherlands) at 450,000V DC. These inverters convert in to AC and then it goes through transformers to convert it to 400,000V AC for distibution over the National Grid. ---------------------- |

Limited outputs All that technology, but did they fit a usb outlet for charging your mobile or laptop?. Assuming that they or you wont be fried by whatever random pulse fields are coming from those transformers, How close can you go when they are in service?Andy |

Nope, no USB 
I'm not sure of the safety distance on DC at 450Kv. The inverter units were isolated when we worked on them as we had to disconnect them. The AC side of things, the nearest you can get to live 400,000V is 3.1m Anything less than that and it can arc over and kill you  In practice you keep further away than 3.1m or preferably isolate the equipment and work 'dead'.
