What is the main advantage of DC over AC for aircraft electrical power systems?
It doesn't have to be rectified. That's the ONLY advantage; the electrical systems in all but the smallest planes are 400Hz AC systems.
Can booster transformer be used in dc distribution system?
No. Transformers work in AC systems, not in DC systems.
Is it possible to transmit dc on ac transmission lines?
DC transmission lines are only used in special applications for example very long distances or for connecting two non-synchronous power systems. As an example UK and France are connected by DC power cables because the two power systems are not synchronised.
Full form of DC power supply?
DC Power is Direct Current Power Supply.
What is a chopper in power electronics?
dc to dc converter
What has the author Fang Lin Luo written?
Fang Lin Luo has written: 'Digital power electronics and applications' -- subject(s): Digital control systems, Digital electronics, Power electronics 'Advanced DC/DC converters' -- subject(s): DC-to-DC converters
Is it possible to measure power factor for dc system?
noAnswer'Power factor' is a quantity associated with alternating-current systems, and does not apply to direct-current systems'.

Are solar heating systems classified as ac or DC?
DC

How do you charge a supercapacitor?
use a dc power source. preferably an ac/dc power adapter. any dc power source will do.
What is power handling capabilities of High Voltage DC lines?
This will vary depending on the line. The longest High Voltage DC link in the world is the Rio Madeira link in Brazil, which consists of two bipoles of 600 kV, 3150 MW each.
Full form of DC power supply?
DC Power is Direct Current Power Supply.
Why don't you use dc generator in power station?
Edison did use DC. In short, it's because of inability of DC to use transformers for cheap easy conversion of current to voltage and back. As such, DC systems had heavy copper cables with low voltage and high current while AC systems had cheaper lighter cables carrying high voltages and low current. The DC system is very limited in how far users can be from generators. Additionally, DC systems are prone to electro-galvanic corrosion while AC are not. All this made AC MUCH MUCH cheaper.
What IS AC power and DC power?
AC Power is Alternating Current whereas DC Power is Direct Current.
