In my professional life, I'm a development manager for a Telecoms company in the UK. I manage a team of 4 developers and we build IVR based applications.
Outside of that, I'm a member of a carnival club in Somerset (UK)... every year in November we have carnival processions of huge illuminated carnival floats running off a 800KVA generator with around 11,000 GLS light bulbs on it drawing around 2200amps.... and it's my job to wire the damn thing up!!

Compact Fluorescent Lamp Load Calculations Thanks for the edit... I agree that part should have been a separate question, and maybe didn't even need to ask it. |

How would an electric company detect wireless theft of electricity? On your point about trespass/vandalisation, power lines normally go across farmland with the power companies paying rent to the landowner for the privilege of putting a pylon on their land. If that landowner wanted to lay a cable alongside the transmission lines on his own land then what would stop him? The only thing a power company could do to stop this is to move their transmission lines! |

Wiring transformer output in series to get twice the voltage possible? @jpc: Not always, I've used many transformers that have two separate unconnected secondary coils. |
