| What's the difference between AC
PowerLift and DC Whisper Quiet? The names
of each motor derives from the type of electrical
current used to power the motor. Each motor offers a benefit. Below the benefit is defined as well as the technical definitions of AC and DC electrical current: |
| The DC Whisper
Quiet reduces the noise of the motor for a
quieter nights sleep.
DC Current - Is the unidirectional flow of electric charge, or flow of electric charges in a constant direction. Direct current is produced by such sources as batteries, thermocouples, solar cells, and commutator-type electric machines of the dynamo type. Direct current may be obtained from an alternating current supply by use of a current-switching arrangement called a rectifier, which contains electronic elements (usually) or electromechanical elements (historically) that allow current to flow only in one direction. |

| The AC Power
lift provides a greater overall lifting
capacity (up to 600 lbs).
AC Current - is an electric current whose direction reverses cyclically. The usual waveform of an AC power circuit is a sine wave, as this results in the most efficient transmission of energy. Alternating Current is the form in which electricity is delivered to businesses and residents. |
