None normally. You may find battery backup on things like alarm systems. Your telephone, if it isn't one with a local power supply, is powered by the telephone company and that uses DC supply.
Because equipment operating on DC is usually low-power electronic equipment, and it uses a power-supply to convert the house AC supply to DC at the right voltage. Most appliances needing high power are designed to run on AC because that is the normal supply to houses.
You need a DC power supply in order to connect a 24v DC motor to household power.
The case of reverse polarity would only happen on a DC system. As to would it cause equipment to run when switched off, no, if the switch opens the equipment's power supply completely the device will not operate.
A fluorescent light fixture is designed to operate on an AC voltage supply. To have the fixture operate off of a DC supply a power inverter would have to be installed. The power inverter would then change the DC to AC for the fixture to operate. These power inverters are reasonably priced these days and can be bought at most DIY stores.
Radios use DC power supplies to operate. If a radio is powered from a mains AC supply, a power supply circuit will convert the AC supply to DC. Therefore, a radio may have both a DC and an AC power input but ultimately, the internal circuitry will always use DC.
because it provides direct current in home some equipment need alternating current so we can not use dc supply in home
because the termination and relays in side the telecoms penal needs for DC supply to continues the protection equipment and relay and purpose of telecoms
Only a DC motor uses direct current, and the reason is that it is the only supply available. There are also plenty of AC motors used when there is an AC supply. DC tends to be used for low-power devices like fans in electronic equipment.
Transformers operate on the inductance principle; they need a changing magnetic field to induce a voltage into the secondary winding. Either you must supply a changing magnetic field to one winding, or supply that winding with DC and move the core (like in a microphone).
No, a device rated for 120V 60Hz 275W will not operate properly with a 12V DC 1000mA electrical supply. The voltage and wattage requirements of the device are significantly different from what the 12V DC supply provides, which will likely result in malfunction or damage to the device. It is important to use an electrical supply that matches the specifications of the device for safe and proper operation.
all electronic circuits require some DC supply for operation. This supply is used to put the individual active devices at a correct operation status to enable them to operate at conditions as conceptualised by the circuit designer. If the DC supply is Not correct i.e too low , high or Not of constant value the circuit is most likely to malfunction with possibly disasterous consequences depending on the application.
The household supply in the UK is 240 V and is AC (alternate current).
