DC, since it:
has a high resistance to AC but not to DC
allows electrons to flow in only one direction from cathode to anode
has a high resistance to DC but not to AC
allows electrons to flow in only one direction from anode to cathode

the load across the power supply is variable
one side of the line cord is connected to the chassis

voltage on their own, then try to help
Immediately drag the person away from the high voltage
Turn off the power, call for emergency help and give CPR if needed

If your third-floor amateur station has a ground wire running 10.05 metres 
(33 feet) down to a ground rod, why might you get an RF burn if you touch the 
front panel of your HF transceiver?
Because of a bad antenna connection, allowing the RF energy to take an easier 
path out of the transceiver through you
Because the transceiver's heat-sensing circuit is not working to start the 
cooling fan
Because the ground wire is a resonant length on several HF bands and acts 
more like an antenna than an RF ground connection

Make a couple of loops in the ground wire where it connects to your station

A ground loop is an effective way to ground station equipment
If the chassis of all station equipment is connected with a good conductor, 
there is no need to tie them to an earth ground
RF hot spots can occur in a station located above the ground floor if the 
equipment is grounded by a long ground wire
The chassis of each piece of station equipment should be tied together with 
high-impedance conductors

B-003-19-10 (4)
On mains operated power supplies, the ground wire should be connected to the 
metal chassis of the power supply. This ensures, in case there is a fault in 
the power supply, that the chassis:
does not become conductive to prevent electric shock
becomes conductive to prevent electric shock
develops a high voltage compared to the ground
does not develop a high voltage with respect to the ground

B-003-19-11 (2)
