    This document discusses the differences between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). AC power is transmitted into buildings at high voltages for efficiency, then stepped down by transformers before use. AC power is safer for distribution over long distances than DC. Circuit breakers and fuses provide overcurrent protection in electrical circuits to prevent damage from short circuits or excessive current.
