ac transmission are used because we easily step up the voltage as per our requirment and also breaker used for ac break the ac current easily bcs of nature of zero current at every cycle

but for long distance transmission done by dc due to reducing the skin effect and also reduce the relative inductance of the line due to this the line losses are reduce and we transmit the more power.
