(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Care must be taken not to connect AC motors or transformers to direct current (DC) sources, as they can be seriously damaged by doing so. This is mostly a concern when dealing with low voltages, as normal electrical outlets almost always carry AC.
The voltage number itself is most important, as a device must never be connected to a supply higher than the device is rated to handle, or with a voltage switch set incorrectly.
