DC means "direct current." This means that a constant current passes through the circuit, as opposed to AC or "alternating current," where the current cycles periodically. Usually, it is actually the source voltage that is either direct or alternating. Wall sockets supply AC voltage, and the standard in the US is 120 V with a frequency of 60 Hz. Many appliances require DC, so they have DC converters, which are the blocky plugs you see on things like cell phone chargers.

there is little or no low voltage wire used in a house. Doorbells, and thermostats usually. those wires are small and white and pink dissimilar the time. each from time to time eco-friendly. Line voltage wire is length 14 or higher and usually 12 gauge. they are black and white with a unadorned wire interior a plastic look after. it really is termed Romax. Low voltage wires is DC voltage and the line voltage wire are AC voltage.
