Can you use a 13v 2.77 amp ac adapter in place of a 12v 3.0 amp ac adapter?

Possibly, but not if you want to invalidate the warranty to your appliance.


Can you use a lower amp than the original I have a power adapter 12v 5amp that doesn't work can I use a 12v 3amp one?

nope! that would ruin your stuff plus amps is what actually powers appliances so if you dont have enough it wont power up (amps is another word for current)


Can you use 12v ac 60w instead of 12v ac 2a adaptor?

Probably yes. The 12v 2 amp adapter can put out 12x2=24 watts. The 60w adapter can handle more than twice the power (60 / 12 = 5 amps). However, the voltage of inexpensive adapters may be quite a bit higher under low loads. I'd check and make sure the voltage was not very much greater than 12 volts with a 2 amp load.


Can a 12 volt 0.5 amp ac adapter substituted with a 7.5 volt 1 amp adapter?

No, it is not recommended to substitute a 12 volt 0.5 amp AC adapter with a 7.5 volt 1 amp adapter. The voltage and amperage ratings need to match the requirements of the device you are powering. Using a lower voltage adapter may not provide enough power, and using a higher voltage adapter can potentially damage the device.


Can 12V 1A adapter be used for 12V 2A device?

no, it may damage the appliance.1Can_12V_2A_adapter_be_used_for_12V_1A_device, 2a adapter cannot be used for 12v, 1a device if the so mentioned parameters are input parameters of the device.Yes, a 12 volt 2 amp adapter has more that enough capacity to operate a 12 volt 1 amp device. In fact the adapter can operate devices up to a limit of 12 volts 2 amps. A device larger than 2 amps connected will tend to heat the adapter up and eventually cause it to fail.

Can you use a 12V 1 amp rated power pack with a 12V 1.5 amp rated router?

No, you need at least a 1.5 amp power pack.


Will an 12v 3a dc out put power adapter fry up a machine that is 12v 2a dc out put?

Youshould not parallel two DC output adaptors. If you meant to say that the second device needed an input of 12 V at 2 amps then the 12 V at 3 amp adapter will work as a power source.

How can you wire a car CD player to work on 240V power indoors?

go by a little 12v adapter at radioshack for twenty or so dollars. that's what i do and it works and even powers a amp and 4 speakers


Will a 12v 2 amp device work with 12v 5 amp power cable?

Yes, the larger cable can carry more load (current) than the other cable.


Can you use a 12v 1500ma switching adapter on a device requiring 12v 3.0A?

No, if your device require 3.0A, 1500ma adapter which is 1.5A is not enough, voltage wise is fine, your adapter adapter will get warm, then overheat, then very likely fail.

How do you calculate rated power of a 12V 80 amp solar panel?

12 x 80 = 960 watts.


How can you change the 30v1000ma power output on your acdc power adapter to a output of around 30v1ma?

Your power adapter is rated up to 30 volts at 1000ma. (1 amp.) If you have a device which only draws 1 milliamp, then it should work with this adapter, as long as the voltage is correct.
