"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.
ac transmission is better. because it is cheaper as converter are not use.but losses are more as comparison to dc.
because the transmission cost of ac supply is lesser than dc. thats why ac is prefered
DC is used for extra-high voltage transmission systems, as there are less losses with DC than with AC, and no synchronising problems.
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.
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.
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.
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.
the highest transmission volatage in India is 765kV ac. The highest voltage in the case of DC transmission is +/- 600 kV.
acdc is the best freakin' band ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!but if your talkin about electricity that's good to
AC transmission lines are 3-phase, DC transmission lines don't have phases. It doesn't matter where they are from.
Firstly, AC is not always used for transmission rather than DC, DC transmission is becoming a frequently useful form of transmission and has several advantages in certain circumstances. Though the reason AC is used more than DC is as follows: Firstly, the output of power stations comes from a rotary turbine, which by it's nature is AC and therefore requires no power electronics to convert to DC. Secondly it is much easier to change the voltage of AC electricity for transmission and distribution. thirdly the cost of plant associated with AC transmission (circuit breakers, transformers etc) is much lower than the equivalent of DC transmission AC transmission provides a number of technical advantages. When a fault on the network occurs, a large fault current occurs. In an AC system this becomes much easier to interrupt, as the sine wave current will naturally tend to zero at some point making the current easier to interrupt. It is also easier to meter AC connections, to monitor power flows accross a network. DC transmission however, is used to link two completely different AC systems. An AC link would require the two systems to be entirely in sync, with the peaks and troughs of the AC wave to occur at the same time. With a DC transmission link, this can be negated allowing the link of, for example, the UK and European transmission network. (See National Grid website for information on the HVDC England - France connector) We can make a d.c transmission plant like a.c because we can't get uninterrupted power supply like a.c .after a certain time d.c source (battery) need charge for recharging it self .
