[sdiy] Hertz Wars !

[Tony Allgood]

> If I'm not mistaken, AC power in Russia used to be 400 Hz. Higher
frequency means smaller transformers (cf switched power supplies).

But higher frequencies increase standing wave effects within the supply
grid. Bizarre but true in the UK's national grid system.
