Spanish term or phrase: V and A as abbreviations (accompanied by AC and DC)

V AC
A AC
A DC
V DC

What do the V and A mean? Looks like the AC and DC are English (i.e. the ES translation is suing the EN terms).

TIA:-)

Thanks for the context:-) I won't add it to the glossary, as I'm still not 100% sure, as the context (my own) is too skimpy.
