Real COs use DC power with A+B feeds. I highly doubt they are set up that way.
Also, most DC plants are designed with at least 4 hours of run time, so you can fix your rectifiers/generator/AC feeds etc. before the batteries run down. Most AC systems have about 20 minutes of battery time, which isn't much. -Tim On 13-04-11 11:48 AM, Bruce N wrote: > When was the last time a real central office lost power?
