There are two main types of electrical current that flow through your home: Alternating and direct. The vast majority of devices around you are powered by alternating current. By allowing electrons to ...

Trials of a direct current (DC) circuit-breaker module prototype – a technology key to the development of a high-voltage DC meshed offshore grid off Europe – have been successfully completed at DNV GL ...

The rapid expansion of high voltage direct current (HVDC) grids, driven by the massive integration of renewable energy sources, has underscored the critical role of DC circuit breakers (DCCBs) and ...

Since electrons are so small and one electron will not have much of an effect anywhere, it is more useful to refer to packages of electrons. One coulomb of charge is a package equivalent to ...

As the story goes, the rock band AC/DC took its name from a label on an old sewing machine in the Young brothers’ home. It must have meant that the machine could run on either alternating-current or ...
