Direct current

Direct current (DC) is the unidirectional flow of electric charge. Direct current is produced by sources such as batteries, thermocouples, solar cells, and commutator-type electric machines of the dynamo type. Direct current may flow in a conductor such as a wire, but can also flow through semiconductors, insulators, or even through a vacuum as in electron or ion beams.The term DC is used to refer to power systems that use only one polarity of voltage or current, and to refer to the constant, zero-frequency, or slowly varying local mean value of a voltage or current.

  2. The enclosed engine design protects hot engine parts from the environment, and the remarkably quiet operation means you won't need to worry about gas costs when it's not running. Interested to know more about generator mag? Browse this site.

  3. If you want a generator that powers your entire home, look for a high-wattage model. A 3500 watt generator will power the entire house, but it is unlikely to power a heating or air conditioning unit. You are curious to know more about best portable generators, find out here.
