This section contains information on basic bells. Bells that have
associated components within them i.e. Induction Coils, are called Bellsets.

For the non-technical.......
Bells come in two types, AC (alternating Current) and DC (Direct Current).
The
main difference is the bell ringing mechanism. AC bells just have two
coils, whilst DC bells have one coil and a contact set on the bell clapper arm.
In telephony, DC bells require power, i.e. batteries or a power supply.
Most AC bells will work on a telephone line if wired correctly. |
