My guess is that they are rectifying the 110 VAC to some form of DC voltage. Since they would need to do so for any electrical components / circuit card assemblies it would make sense to run a DC motor as well, although I obviously can't confirm. As an engineer for an electronics company, the first thing we do when required to use AC is to convert the input power to DC voltage to power up FPGAs and other electrical components.

DC voltage is much more efficient at lower currents, however it cannot travel over long distances without significant loss. Hence, all of our power lines run high current AC voltage through them. Most household electronics will then convert the power from your 110 VAC outlet to DC voltage. That's what the "brick" at the end of your power cord is for. The first thing your PC does when power is applied is to convert the AC to DC to power up the electronics.

My take from the last CC is that IMGG had accounted for the structural design early in the developement of the Dominion, and that the new review simply wanted to review the analysis. The request from the FDA did not strike me as a concern for the structural integrity of the Dominion, per se, but rather a request to review the existing analysis.

FWIW
