Electrical infrastructure
The public take the power infrastructure for granted, but with a completly new enviroment what will be the best way to distribute power?
On Earth there are many power systems
Common examples
240V 50Hz UK
120V or 240V 60Hz USA
most of the aircraft systems use 115 volts (V) AC at 400 hertz (Hz)
Industry uses three phase 400V-415V either 50 or 60Hz
Transmission lines carry high voltage electricity, typically at 345,000 volts
other common power line voltages are
Wooden pole 11,000 volts - often used for distribution in rural areas.
Wooden pole 45,000 V between phases -
Towers with three or six double wires are 275,000 V
Towers with three or six quadruple wires are 400,000 V
On Mars it may pay to totally rethink power distribution.
Many plugs and sockets and associated wiring could be eliminated by using wireless power distribution using Tesla radio frequency local power systems, yet using a system of directed beams as with 5G phased arrays efficiency.
