Why are High-Power Devices Not Designed to Run on DC Voltage?
Why Don’t We Use 120V DC, 230V DC, or 240V DC Instead of 120V/230V/240V AC for High-Power Electrical Appliances? 120V/240 AC vs 120V/240V DC| ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY
This post Why are 1-Phase Motors Not Self-Starting Like 3-Phase Motors? appeared first on ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY. Why a Single-Phase Induction Motor is Not Self-Starting, While a Three-Phase Induction Motor Can Start on Its Own? Single-phase induction motors are not self-starting because they produce an evolving magnetic field instead of a rotating magnetic field. This phenomenon often surprises beginners in electrical engineering or individuals new to the subject. Let’s find out the … Vis...| ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY

Dual Voltage Operated Devices Different countries use different standard voltages for their power grids, commercial and residential applications. For instance, USA and Canada use 120V/240V, while Europe, UK, Asia and Africa use 230V/415V. Surprisingly, Japan uses 100/200V system which … Visit t...| ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY
This post Why is AC Commonly Used in Households Instead of DC? appeared first on ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY. Why is Alternating Current (AC) Preferred Over Direct Current (DC) for Use in Homes? In most residential and commercial applications, Alternating Current (AC) is used for general appliances such as motors, fans, and heaters. However, some devices operate on Direct Current (DC), such as batteries, solar panels, and data centers. AC has several advantages over … Visit the Why is AC Commonly...| ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY
This post Can an AC Device Operate on DC Supply, and Vice Versa? appeared first on ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY. What Happens When You Operate an AC Device on DC Voltage, and a DC Device on AC Voltage? Generally, NO! It is neither advisable nor safe to operate a device designed for AC voltage using DC voltage, and vice versa, without proper voltage conversion. This is because most AC devices rely on the alternating nature … Visit the Can an AC Device Operate on DC Supply, and Vice Versa? to read t...| ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY
