A power regulator which takes various input powers and converts them into a usable power source for the XO.

Power distribution

There will be huge losses over a short distance if transmitting 12V DC. So even in the cheapest village setup they might need a power distribution system.

There are some devices which will not work with 50Hz, but everything will work at 60Hz.

Standard voltages are 440V and 220V.

The best solution might be;

  • 220V at 60Hz
