Description
With the first phase of the implementation of the KM3NeT Research Infrastructure in
the Mediterranean Sea, several design and technical choices have been made for the
realization of the power network at the installation sites. Considerations for these
choices - which are valid for large area detector networks in general - include the
arguments for AC or DC, the behaviour of the power network at constant power
load, the implementation of several voltage level conversions and grounding issues.
We will present the design and implementation choices of the power networks
currently realized for the large area KM3NeT-Fr and KM3NeT-It installation sites.
