hi can some one tell me the main difference between dc and ac breakers.also is dc voltage more dangerous than ac.is this because dc voltage is constant. thanks
 
Some MCB's (breakers) are fine to work on DC as well as AC. You need to check the manufacturers specifications. DC can be equally dangerous as AC depending on the circumstances.
