"Best" is relative. In general, Tesla won over Edison, but in some applications DC is better than AC, and for that reason it is used in those applications (tie stations, long distance transmission without tap locations, for example). Most of the time AC is cheaper, so AC is used.

Who is better ac or DC transmission?

ac transmission is better. because it is cheaper as converter are not use.but losses are more as comparison to dc.


Why ac prepared DC current?

because the transmission cost of ac supply is lesser than dc. thats why ac is prefered


Where would DC be used instead of AC?

DC is used for extra-high voltage transmission systems, as there are less losses with DC than with AC, and no synchronising problems.


Which power transmission is best ac or dc?

yes, i think dc transmission is best, coz in dc losses is low, no iductance between conduct, less corona loss.AnswerNeither is 'better'; they each have advantages and disadvantages. For example, although there might be less losses with d.c. transmission, the equipment required to raise and reduce the voltage at each end of the line is more costly than for an a.c. transmission system.


What is the difference between in ac and dc powwer cable?

There is no difference in the cables. The only difference is the type of electrical power being transmitted. AC or DC applications use the same wires.

Is AC better than DC in terms of electrical power transmission efficiency?

AC is generally more efficient than DC for long-distance electrical power transmission because it can be easily converted to higher voltages, reducing energy losses during transmission.


What IS AC DC?

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.
