For longer distances and for some special scenarios DC will be more efficient than AC. In any case, I suspect Mahendra meant that 12 V DC is less efficient than for example 230 V AC, which is true. | |

Mar 7, 2018 at 15:19 | comment | added | Graham | This is an old post, so I won't expect edits. But for completeness for future readers, I'll note that your statement "transmitting DC power over a long distance is inefficient" is flat wrong. DC is much more efficient for long distances, which is why HVDC transmission schemes are used. The advantage of AC is simply that voltage conversion using transformers is relatively easy and cheap. | |
