Merci Adrien !
agree Tony M : Frankly, the AC/DC is redundant — particualrly as it doesn't actaully mean 'AC/DC', but rather, 'AC to DC' — there is a subtle techncial difference that obviously escaped the writer! / These plugtop ones are often called 'bloc'

Merci Tony ! Fully agree with you!
disagree Hélène Curtis : The acronyms «AC & DC» needs to be translated.

agree Myriam Dupouy : Qu'il ne faut pas trop bidouiller sous peine de Highway to Hell ;o) (En fait, mieux vaut peut-être conserver AC/DC si c'est ce qu'il est écrit sur l'appareil, plus sûr... Même s'il s'agit bien d'alternatif et de continu...).
