1 horse power is equal to 746.0014 Watts of direct current.
Power lines carry electricity as alternating current.
AC power sources are the adapter power sources. DC power sources are the direct power sources. DC stands for direct current, meaning it is a direct source of energy., and AC stands for alternating current, which means it is a secondary source of power.
AC Power is Alternating Current whereas DC Power is Direct Current.
Yes, it is true that current supply from generating plants is an alternating current. There is no success found in bulk power generation of direct current ( D.C. ) in a power plant. But yes it is possible to transmit the power in the form of direct current ( High Voltage Direct Current Transmission-HVDC Transmission ) that possible after converting the generated alternating current into direct current with the help of high range converters.
The output of a machine depends on the manufacturer's testing variables. Horse power output is usually roughly equal to one horsepower.
Direct current
Direct current can be generated by a generator. Generators are not as efficient as alternators ( that generated AC power ). Vehicles use direct current but come equipped with alternators. The AC power is rectified ( changed to DC ) for use.
Batteries are a source of direct current because they product power (voltage and current) in only one direction.

Direct current (DC or "continuous current") is the unidirectional flow of electric charge. Direct current is produced by such sources as batteries, thermocouples, solar cells, and commutator-type electric machines of the dynamo type. Direct current may flow in a conductor such as a wire, but can also be through semiconductors, insulators, or even through a vacuum as in electron or ion beams. In direct current, the electric charges flow in the same direction, distinguishing it from alternating current (AC). A term formerly used for direct current was Galvanic current. Direct current may be obtained from an alternating current supply by use of a current-switching arrangement called a rectifier, which contains electronic elements (usually) or electromechanical elements (historically) that allow current to flow only in one direction. Direct current may be made into alternating current with an inverter or a motor-generator set. The first commercial electric power transmission (developed by Thomas Edison in the late nineteenth century) used direct current. Because of the advantage of alternating current over direct current in transforming and transmission, electric power distribution today is nearly all alternating current. For applications requiring direct current, such as third rail power systems, alternating current is distributed to a substation, which utilizes a rectifier to convert the power to direct current. See War of Currents. Direct current is used to charge batteries, and in nearly all electronic systems as the power supply. Very large quantities of direct-current power are used in production of aluminum and other electrochemical processes. Direct current is used for some railway propulsion, especially in urban areas. High voltage direct current is used to transmit large amounts of power from remote generation sites or to interconnect alternating current power grids.
Direct current (DC) this is produced by for example batteries. AC alternating current changes direction on a cyclical basis and is used in power distribution and what "comes out" of the power sockets in the home.
