The Canadian electrical grid is AC.
A grid DC tie is where AC is converted into DC, which is then converted to AC again on the other side. If you have a DC to AC transformer setup, you'd need to add a second one going the "other" way for a full DC tie station.
Typically DC is what you get in a battery and AC is what powers your house.
A transformer cannot convert AC into DC.
An ac generator produces ac, a dc generator produces dc, it all depends on the generator.
The electrical grid in North America uses AC system. Your home is connected to the grid through your utility company. To answer the question, you will find AC in the filament of a light bulb in your home.
Car electrical systems are DC, direct current.
AnswerThere is a hard rock band called AC/DC .In electrical jargon, AC is short for alternating current and DC is short for Direct current.
In electrical terms AC means alternate current and DC means direct current. AC/DC comes from Australia (Perth and Sydney) even though most of them have Scottish heritage.
DC is generally considered safer than AC in terms of electrical systems because DC does not cause the same level of electric shock and is less likely to start fires.
AC stands for alternating current, and DC is direct current. A motor is a device that uses electrical energy to spin. An AC motor uses AC voltage, and a DC motor uses DC voltage. http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Difference-Between-AC-and-DC-Electric-Motors&id=193767
Lightning is a form of electrical discharge that is primarily AC (alternating current) in nature.
Singapore's power grid mainly operates on AC (alternating current) like most countries around the world. AC is preferred for long-distance power transmission as it can easily be converted to different voltage levels for distribution.
