[Electric Boats] Re: converter

 

Great responses to the AC/DC dilemma. Add to the mix: AC travels better, so the higher the current and/or the longer the wires, the more likely AC will be more efficient. Very short and thick DC wires equals long and much skinnier AC wires. High voltage and low amperage DC is efficient, though anything above 48 volts needs special protection (because of average human skin conductivity).

Were you wondering about propulsion or house loads?
