27/09,
yes - I've been using mine (HP) in the 777s for over a year now - no problems and we still operate/charge the company EFBs (toshiba toughbooks) from them as normal practice, but these outlets are 60hz (not 400 as someone said). I haven't plugged mine into a 400 hz supply - I'll let someone else try that first) Imagine that the bridge would run hotter in the rectifier?
Can't grasp what impedence has to do with the primary windings of a power transformer??? (maybe I was asleep that day at electronics lectures) but pretty sure nowadays these are switch-mode supplies now anyway.
Impedence is more a concern with matching audio & R/F final stage output to eg. speakers & antenna systems. If you're a cone-head (EI&R) perhaps you could explain?

Edit: IRRenewal - we posted at the same time - good to have an explanation from some in the know - thanks
