Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] diesel electric



Just a quick note.... D.C. motors have more torque at lower speeds, where the power band of an A.C. motor isn't realized until the optimum speed of the particular A.C. motor is achieved.
The universal availability of A.C. components doesn't work either, when you consider the use of different Hertz configurations in foreign countries. D.C. is D.C......no matter what country you're in. Everybody in the world uses 12 volt chargers.....and batteries the world around are all compatible. My jumper cables built in Chicago, will connect to my Toyota, carry a charge to my wife's Volvo, which will get us to my broken down Harley out on Interstate 5, and getting me back home with time to see Monday's game on my 12 volt T.V.
Stick to D.C. and save yourself a lot of expense and grief.
