    I read about Solid State Transformers <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.powermag.com&#x2F;the-solid-state-shift-reinventing-the-transformer-for-modern-grids&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.powermag.com&#x2F;the-solid-state-shift-reinventing-t... with some interest. However they have some weird failure modes. At least large chunks of metal twisted around large chunks of a different metal are predictable and don&#x27;t need firmware updates.
