Which is most dangerous for human being 230 V ac or 230 V dc voltae supply
Dickfore said:Depends on the current passing through your body.
230V AC (alternating current) and 230V DC (direct current) are two different forms of electrical current. AC is the type of current that is used in most household appliances and is constantly changing direction, while DC is the type of current that is used in batteries and electronic devices, and flows in one direction.
230V AC is more commonly used because it is easier to convert to different voltages using transformers, making it more versatile for different applications. DC, on the other hand, is typically used for specific devices and applications, such as electronic circuits.
Both 230V AC and 230V DC can be dangerous if not handled properly. However, AC is typically considered more dangerous because it can cause muscle contractions and stop the heart's rhythm, whereas DC can cause burns and tissue damage. The severity of the danger also depends on the amount of current flowing through the body.
Most homes use 230V AC because it is the standard voltage used in most countries. DC is typically only used in specific devices, such as phones and laptops, which have converters to change the voltage to DC for charging the battery.
There are some advantages to using 230V DC, such as being more efficient for long-distance power transmission and causing less interference with electronic devices. However, the infrastructure and equipment needed for DC power transmission are more expensive and not as widely available as AC power, making it less practical for everyday use.
