The transmission of electrical energy requires very high voltages (for a given load, the higher the supply voltage, the lower the load current). To increase/reduce these voltages, you need Transformers. Transformers are AC machines; they do not work with DC.
What else can I help you with?
What is use of capacitor?
It blocks direct electrical current allowing alternating current to pass
What kind of energy source does a transformer use?
Electrical (alternating current)
What type of electrical current is used for three phase 408V?
Three-phase 408V systems typically use alternating current (AC).
What type of current is used in your home alternating or direct?
In North America the electrical system is alternating current at a frequency of 60 Hertz. Europe and the UK use alternating current at a frequency of 50 Hertz. Direct current systems are obsolete because of the inability to transmit the voltage over long distances.
Electric current from a generating plant is?
Electric current from a generating plant is typically alternating current (AC), which flows back and forth in a rapid and regular manner. This AC current is then transmitted through power lines to homes and businesses for use in electrical appliances and devices.
What did Nikola Tesla do?
He was an inventor in electric things, mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electrical supply system.
Wall outlets use what kind of current?
alternating current
How did Nickola use electricity?
Nikola Tesla was the inventor of the alternating current light and power system in use all over the world today.
What Nikola Tesla did invent that is of use today?
Nikola Tesla invented the alternating current (AC) electricity system, which is still the basis for electrical power distribution today. He also contributed to the development of the radio and wireless communication technologies that we use in modern telecommunications.
What does a transmission system at a radio station use to convert a direct current into a high frequency alternating current?
a high power, often class C amplifier.
What are the 2 basic types of currents?
The main division is between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). AC is universal now for domestic and industrial supply, but DC used to be used in some places in the early part of last century. Automobiles use DC at 12V which is I think universal now. AC in domestic use can be at 50Hz (Europe and many other places) or 60Hz (North America), and can be at either 240V or 120V.
What does a rectifier on motorcycle do?
A rectifier on a motorcycle converts alternating current (AC) generated by the alternator into direct current (DC) to charge the battery and power the electrical system. This ensures a steady supply of power to the motorcycle's electrical components.
