What is AC/DC?

AC/DC refers to alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) electricity. AC is an electric current that periodically reverses direction, while DC flows in one direction only. AC is commonly used for power distribution over long distances, while DC is typically used in batteries, electronic devices, and some specialized power applications.

What other technologies are related to AC/DC?

AC/DC Competitor Technologies

AC-AC converters provide AC power at a different voltage or frequency, thus sometimes can be used instead of AC/DC and DC/AC combinations.
