Uh-huh


Richard, do you actually believe that 60 Hz AC current flows the same direction
all the time into your refrigerator? Wouldn't that make it DC? AC current
flows into the refrigerator for 1/2 cycle and flows out of the refrigerator
during the next 1/2 cycle. In the AC hot wire, AC current flows toward the
generator just as often as it flows toward the refrigerator. Every 8.333 mS,
it goes through a zero-crossing and changes direction.
