Frequently Asked Questions
What is a rectifier?
A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC), which periodically reverses direction, to direct current (DC), which flows in only one direction. The process is known as rectification. Read more..
What is an alternator?
An alternator is a device that creates alternating current by transforming mechanical energy into electrical energy. Read more..
How does an AFCI work?
AFCIs work by sensing when an arc fault is about to occur and then interrupting the flow of electricity before the arc can form. Read more..
What is an AC motor?
An AC motor is an electric motor that uses alternating current (AC) instead of direct current (DC). AC motors are more efficient than DC motors and can be found in a variety of applications, including fans, pumps, and compressors. Read more..
