step down transformer

OH, no. It has happened. Commercialism.

I have a 500kW/380V LV Load in a distance of 700m.

Marketers of consumer goods are always looking for the next big "hook." For example, with high-fructose corn syrup out of favor, we now see the spectacle of soft drink makers proudly proclaiming that their dentition-rotting products contain "real sugar." So what about nano technology? In the past co
