There is no such thing as VAC power – it is just AC power. When you see 110 VAC on an appliance, it means 110 volts AC power. Voltage is a measure of “circuit pressure.” It refers to how hard the electricity pushes through a circuit.

What does 120VAC mean?

The household electricity our North American appliances use is delivered at 120VAC (volts alternating current) 60 Hz. When the electric current flows it rises from 0 volts to 120 volts back to 0 volts and then it falls to negative 120 volts and rises back to 0 volts.

Is Vac a voltage?

VAC is an electrical voltage in an alternating current circuit. The power system that powers homes and businesses in the United States uses 120 VAC, while in Europe the system uses 240 VAC. This means that the power available from an electrical outlet in the United States is 120 volts, 60 cycles of alternating current.

A power converter for The Philippines allows you to use a 100-120 volt electrical appliance with a 220 volt Filipino power outlet.
