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.

Can you use ac supply for cable meggering?

No. The cable has capacitance, and an AC source would not be able to distinguish between capacitance and leakage.


Why ac megger not use in cable meggering?

Because the cable has capacitance, and an AC source would not be able to distinguish between capacitance and leakage.


What is the difference when selecting a cable between AC and DC current?

AC. is alternating current and Dc is direct current. alternating equivalant to pulsating electricity while direct is a constant draw with little fluxuation.


Can AC cable use for DC motor?

Yes, what matters is that the cable can take the correct voltage, and is thick enough to carry the required current, but ac or dc makes no difference.

What are the differences between an AC cable and a DC cable, and how do these variances impact their functionality and applications?

The main difference between an AC cable and a DC cable is the type of electrical current they carry. AC cables transmit alternating current, which changes direction periodically, while DC cables transmit direct current, which flows in one direction consistently. These variances impact their functionality and applications because devices are designed to work with either AC or DC power. AC is commonly used in homes and businesses for powering appliances and electronics, while DC is often used in electronics like computers and mobile devices. The choice of AC or DC cable depends on the specific requirements of the device being powered.


What is difference between ACT armored cable and ac armored cable?

Southwire, a manufacturer of this type of cable defines ACT as a multiple conductor thermoplastic insulated cable with steel spiralled interlocking armour. The armour has the appearance of flexible conduit. AC cable is also known as BX cable. Common insulation materials thermoset and thermoplastic as used in AC cable. Type AC cable have different identifiers and insulation type. Type ACTHH has 194 degree (90 degree Celsius) thermoplastic insulation. Type ACTH has 167 degree (75 degree Celsius) thermoplastic insulation. Type AC has thermoset insulation. Type ACHH has 194 degree (90 degree Celsius) thermoset insulation.


What is the difference between ac and dc grounding?

The difference AC and DC grounding is that AC is alternate current and DC is direct current. Grounding for both AC and DC is the same.
