No Harry .. thats switched reversed polarity DC...

Well, yes. AC is generally a sine wave. Be good to see how you
achieve that with a switch. Many inverters make a pretty poor job of
producing a sine wave. ;-)


AC can be any wave form.


Ah, so we are now saying DC is a special case of AC.


Love to see harry trying to send square wave AC over a distance. ;-)
