Electrical Conversion FAQs
What’s the difference between AC and DC?
Direct Current (DC) flows one direction (batteries), Alternating Current (AC) changes direction (household power).
Why power factor matters?
In AC systems, power factor (0-1) represents efficiency. Lower values mean more energy waste.
How calculate 3-phase power?
Watts = Amps × Volts × √3 × PF. US Department of Energy provides detailed guidelines.
What’s typical household current?
Most US circuits are 15-20 amps at 120V. Heavy appliances use 240V circuits.
