**East Indians<
You need to go to Oak Tree Road in Edison/Iselin and you will find numerous Indian and Pakistani stores. Its about a 2 mile stretch but there is one part where there are many stores.
My recommendation is to go this address and you can park around here

How did the antique dc current wiring in buildings from edison times as it is found in New York differ from the todays AC wiring in terms of lights,switches,fuses/breakers,meters,plugs and etc?Also how to get a converter so common AC appliances and electronics can be used?
switches for DC current have farther spaced contacts as DC will actually arc farther than AC AC switches/breakers may work for a shot time but will quickly burn out,you can get an inverter but the sine wave will not be a true sine wave it will be square that will be OK for lights and appliances but AC motors will be less efficient,the major differance in the currents is that AC alternates between poles positive is on one leg then the other it does this sixty times a second DC is always the same positive on one leg negative on the other.by changing the frequency AC can Handel more voltage with smaller conductors that DC and can be transmitted farther with a lot less voltage drop
