AC-1 can have different meanings depending on the context. In electrical engineering, AC-1 refers to a type of electrical contactor used for controlling non-inductive or slightly inductive loads, such as resistance heaters. However, in the context of military vehicles, AC-1 was the development code for the Sentinel cruiser tank, an Australian-designed tank during World War II.
