Periodically changes intensity and direction.
Can be easily turned into DC.
A single electrical signal returns by the cable called NEUTRAL, that closes the circuit.
In Spain, uses a voltage of 230 V and a frequency of 50 Hz.
AC generators are easier to make, cheaper and need less maintenance.
Can be stored in batteries to be used anywhere and anytime.
Is abbreviated as AC in English and CA in Spanish.
A single electrical signal is transmitted by the cable called PHASE.
Constant intensity and direction.
It is the AC that arrives to our homes.
The transport via cable has few losses thanks to the high voltage.
Colours: blue for NEUTRAL and black, brown or grey for PHASE.
230 V between PHASES and NEUTRAL and 380 V between two different PHASES.
Has a single NEUTRAL returns cable wich colour is blue.
It is a system of three connected AC currents, produced simultaneously in the same generator.
The frequency is also 50 Hz.
Its transport via cable is subject to very high losses.
Is produced in electrical power stations.
Produced in batteries and dynamos.
PHASE conductor contains 3 cables differentiated by colours: black, brown and grey.
Circulates from positive to negative pole of generator.
The distribution network is cheaper because the conductive cables are thinner.
Abbreviated as DC in english and CC in spanish.
