In a power socket, AC refers to the alternating current and DC refers to the direct current. Generally, AC is marked 250V10A, indicating that the maximum 250V voltage and 10A current are allowed to pass. In practical application, the voltage and current value had better not exceed this value, in order to avoid fire and other dangers. AC power sockets are first defined as strong and alternating current. Used in household appliances, electrical fields. General sockets can be regarded as DC DC, such as chargers, other electronic product sockets, connectors, etc. Electronic applications are wide.
AC power socket AC is alternating current, while the public power is dc power. AC power sockets are widely used in homes and industry. It is superior to ordinary power socket in power, volume, components and so on, and represents the development direction of regulated power supply. AC power socket life is more than 10000 times of ordinary, in the temperature range of -40 ~ +85, electrical strength or 2000 VOLTS, 250 general AC mark V10A, label allowable voltage up to 250 volts, current 10A. In practical applications, the voltage and current value had better not exceed this value, in order to avoid fire and other hazards.
So we often see terms like this, like socket AC10A, so what does that mean? In fact, it is the electrical appliance with the maximum current of 10A and the maximum power of 10A*220V=2200W that can be brought into the socket. If the power is exceeded, the wire will heat up, and even short circuit will cause fire when it is serious.
Why should alternating current and direct current be used differently? First of all, it is important to know that the direction or magnitude of the current of the direct current is constant, while the current of the alternating current will change over time. Both are very common in society, and the typical application of direct current is the battery. A lot of these things work because of batteries and a lot of home appliances. And alternating current is more common in our life, our homes are using alternating current electricity, alternating current volume has a typical benefit, that is, convenience. As you know, we use the electricity have change and firewire two strands, took home the 220 v power, the potential of zero line is 0 v, the line of fire because of time different produce add and subtract the corresponding to zero potential respectively, and the electric current is a direction, decrease when the current is one aspect, thus forming the alternating direction of current, it is called alternating current. Another advantage of ALTERNATING current is that it can boost or reduce the voltage, and it has higher efficiency of power generation by using transmission. The production equipment is simpler and more convenient. Compared with direct current, it has no obvious advantages in these aspects. It is also very convenient to convert to direct current, if direct current to alternating current is much more troublesome.
