Northern Ireland Electricity (NIE) said the blackout was caused by an issue with the high voltage transmission network.
Randal Gilbert from NIE said interfering with high voltage electricity could be lethal.
The cost of burying cables makes it prohibitive, even without the ease of maintenance provided by suspended high voltage lines.
It also wants any new high voltage transmission lines to avoid areas of outstanding natural beauty, national parks, world heritage sites and green belt land.
It fell onto the main north-south high voltage power transmission line.
They handle high voltage, and must be carefully installed and maintained.
To send power miles away without huge line losses demanded that electricity be stepped up to a high voltage, then stepped down again at the receiving end.
High voltage is the best way to transmit power (the higher the voltage, the smaller the loss), but high voltage is not usually what the user wants.
New York City, electric power is transmitted by high voltage cables encased in steel pipelines to electric substations where the power is converted to low voltage feeders supplying about 55 distribution networks.
Severinsky's bright idea was to run the electric motor on a high voltage--say, 40 times the 14 volts that is standard for the electrical system in a gasoline car with a 12-volt battery.
Other improvements will include the running of new and some existing high voltage cables underground, particularly where they affect areas of outstanding natural beauty, and the construction of a new undersea link connecting Scotland with England and Wales.
The carbon is placed next to the steel die form, and very high voltage is sent between the carbon and the steel, creating a powerful arc of heat, which vaporizes the steel in the desired pattern.
It's high-voltage, high-current DC, which is not too far off of automotive electronics from a technology standpoint.
