train uses acpower as its source.as in case of dc there would be only steady state conditions and transmission distance would be low.but in ac,it is sinusoidal waveform and transmission of power source can be done at a larger rate with high effeciency and minimal lose.so ac source is used in electric trains.
ac transmits the voltage over long distances. so v use ac in trains
Trains use DC currents! It's predominantly AC now but more dc in the early days. Both still in use. See DC and AC section below article-
AC stands for Alternating Current and DC stands for Direct Current.
yes we can produce electricity by fixing dynamo in traction wheels so heat is produced when the friction of train wheel & track so the dynamo generates an power D.C SUPPLY and is converts into Ac supply so we can use that energy for electric trains use of lights and fans....
You do not use AC to megger a device, because the purpose of meggering is to measure the insulation resistance of the device. You use DC to do that. If you used AC, you would be unable to differentiate between insulation leakage and capacitance.

trains can run on both ac and dc. In India trains run with dc and there is a plan to convert them to move on ac by 2010

no ! ................
Yes, Marx trains and Lionel transformers are generally compatible since they both operate on similar AC power systems. However, it's advisable to check the voltage and wattage ratings to ensure that the transformer provides appropriate power for the Marx trains without causing damage. Additionally, using a transformer with variable voltage control can help regulate the speed and performance of the Marx trains.
Transperth EMU (Electric Multiple Unit) Traction voltage is at 25KV AC, The current that runs though the train is quite the mystery tho :PHope this answer wasn't too late for you :)
AC stands for Alternating Current and DC stands for Direct Current.
By electricity pylons and cables
Some devices operate on AC and others on DC. Generally, anything that uses mains electricity (120V US, 240V UK) is using AC electricity and things that use batteries or are rechargable like cell phones, ipods, personal CD, use DC electricity.
The household supply in the UK is 240 V and is AC (alternate current).
In short No,The UK and most of Europe uses 230V ac single phase for domestic and light commercial installations and 400V ac three phase for industrial and heavy commercial requirements.The confusion comes the fact that a lot of cables are rated for use up to 600 or 650V ac and have markings on the insulation showing this.The wiring regulations allow for systems up to 1000V ac but these are rare. Distribution circuits ie the underground or over head supply cables between power stations and substations use 11,000 33,000, 125,000 and even 400,000 Volts.The UK previously used 240 / 415V and a lot of Europe used 220 / 380V but this was harmonised in 1988 with effect from 1995 (these changes make no practical difference for the user) but a lot of equipment is still labeled 240V or 415V.
