VAC is a three-letter abbreviation with multiple meanings, as described below:
- volts of alternating current. It is not the same as VA for volt-amperes.
- Care must be taken not to connect AC motors or transformers to direct current (DC) sources, as they can be seriously damaged by doing so. This is mostly a concern when dealing with low voltages, as normal electrical outlets almost always carry AC.
- The voltage number itself is most important, as a device must never be connected to a supply higher than the device is rated to handle, or with a voltage switch set incorrectly.
- the callsign for a radio station on the west coast of Canada at Comox, British Columbia, operated by the Canadian Coast Guard.
- Valve Anti-Cheat, software by Valve Software designed to prevent players from cheating in its online games.
- Velvet Acid Christ, an Industrial band.
- Vác, a town in Hungary.
- Vac, both the Sanskrit word for speech, and the Hindu goddess of speech.
- VAC is also an acronym for Virtual Audio Cable, a piece of software that allows on to map audio from on application to another.
