Volts alone is not dangerous, but volts does causes amps. Amps can be dangerous to you if it flows through your body. That's because your brain, your nerves, and your muscles ... including your heart ... all operate on tiny natural volts and amps. They can all go haywire when big ones get in from outside your body.

How do you calculate the ac amps when you have the DC volts DC amps and the ac volts?

the answer is dc volts are rectified from ac volts and the amperage will be the same unless you account for the slight drop from the rectifier. dc volts from a battery have no relationship to ac volts. you can derive ac volts from a dc source using an inverter.


Is 100 amps 48 volts DC the same 12 volts DC?

No.


How many volts are in a auto battery?

12 volts DC


How do you convert 110 volts into 30 volts?

AC - use a step-down transformer. DC - simplest but most wasteful, use a dropping resistor (in series). Otherwise it is costly.


Is a car battery AC or DC volts?

dc - the voltage is a constant 12 volts nominally in a normal car battery.

Why AC is dangerous as compare to DC for same amount of voltage?

The danger is in the voltage, not if it is ac or dc. For instance, 12v dc or 12v ac makes no difference in body contact. Neither will shock you. Usually 24 volts will not shock either. When you get to 48 volts or greater, then you have a chance of shock. 100 volts Ac or Dc shocks basically the same. 120 volts AC is actually 144 volts peak to peak, so 120 volts AC is slightly worse than 120 volts DC. Amperage is actually what kills. A "Taser" voltage can be as high as 50,000 V but the amps are so slow that it doesn't do permanent damage. Commonly people are shocked accidentally by a spark plug wire on a car or a lawnmower with no lasting or ill effects. This voltage can range from 15,000 volts to more than 50,000. These systems have very low amperage.


Is 30 volts of AC voltage the same as 30 volts of DC voltage?

30VAC is not equal and will never be equal to 30VDC. If you rectify 30v ac to DC you will get a voltage lower than 30v because there would be a voltage drop across the rectifier=diode,capacitor,resistor and transistors or thyristor, depending on the make of the rectifier.AnswerAs the questioner makes no mention using a rectifier, yes, 30 V a.c. is exactly equivalent to 30 V d.c. This is because a.c. voltages are root-mean-square values (unless otherwise stated) which, by definition, correspond to d.c. voltages.
