I am editing some specs for components engineered in the UK, and I am seeing the abbreviation V ac used for "volts alternating current." As a US-based tech writer I am used to seeing VAC.

Can anyone in the UK confirm that V ac is the accepted, or more commonly used, usage there?

And can anyone in the US confirm that VAC is the accepted abbreviation?

thanks,
Michael
