Anything with a transformer in it will not work on DC because the transformer will draw enough current to blow the fuse (or catch fire) because Transformers must always have a changing voltage.
A simple heater will work on AC or DC.
Appliances with most types of motor will only work on AC.
What else can I help you with?
Is bulb operate on ac or DC?
It can be operated using both AC or DC
Can transformer operate on triangular wave DC?
If its a triangular wave, its not DC, its AC, its just not sinusoidal. Can a transformer operate on triangular AC? Yes, but not as efficiently as on sinusoidal AC.
Did ceiling fan operate on dc or ac current?
ac current
What are the roles of a diode and a capacitor in an AC-DC converter?
An AC-DC converter you can operate a device on AC instead of batteries. ~bobbyjack~ : D
Do lightbulbs in homes operate on AC or DC voltage?
The bulb works under AC
Can a DC series motor operate on AC and what if any are the modifications needed for it to operate?
yes..it works
Is fluorescent lights fixtures ac or dc?
The basic fluorescent light fixture is AC, although there are fluorescent lights powered by DC.
Can an AC water heater be converted to operate on DC current?
An AC water heater can be converted to operate on DC current but the cost will be large. In the electrical trade anything can be done if enough money is spent to get the results that are requested.
How can a radio use both DC and AC?
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.
What type of ac motor will operate at a constant speed from no load to full load?
The Synchronous motors will operate at a constant speed from noload to fullload. Even it is classified as an AC motor, we have to fed the motor both AC and DC supplies. That we have to supply DC to the Field (Normally Rotor) and AC to the Armature (Normally Stator).
What is need to operate an electric motor?
Voltage is needed for both AC and DC motors.
What changes are to be made for a fluorescent lamp circuit to work if ac supply is replaced by dc?
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.
