Can you use 5 volts 1.2 amp power supply on 5 volts 3.0 amp device?

No you can not. The power supply output of 1.2 amps is under sized. You would need to have a power supply of 3 amps or larger.

Is it okay to use a 12 volts 600 milliamp DC power supply with a device that says it needs 12 volts 1 amp?
No, 1 amp is 1000 milliamp your power supply will only deliver 600 milliamp or .6 of an amp.
Is it okay to use a 5 volts amp DC power supply with a device that says it needs 5 volts 2 amp?
It looks like the crucial number was left out of the question, between the words "volt ... amp DC". If the device says it needs 5 volts at 2 amp, it will run safely on any DC power supply rated at 5 volts and (2 or more) amps.
Can I use a 16vac 4A power supply to power 16vac 1000ma tube amp?
Yes, 1000 ma equates to 1 amp. The 4 amp power supply will have more than enough capacity to operate any device drawing 1 amp.Just make sure that the voltages match. AC voltage of the power supply to AC voltage on the device. You can not cross voltages using a DC power supply to operate an AC device, or the other way around, an AC power supply to operate a DC powered device, even though the voltage values are the same.
Can you use a 12 volts 3 amp power supply on a 12 volt 500 milliamp device?
Your power supply can supply 1 A, but your device requires 2 A. So the power supply will be overloaded. So the simple answer is no.
What will be the effects of using a 12V 1.5A power source to a 15V 1A device?
Most likely, yes. If your device requires 12 volt and draws 1 Amp of current, a 12 volt power supply will give the required voltage and will be able to supply the 1 amp of current it needs to run. A power supply that supplies a little more voltage might also work but depending on the device may cause the device to fail sooner. Much more than 12 volts will most likely destroy the device and result in a burning smell and smoke. A power supply for less than 12 volts may fail to power the device or may make it run slower. This would be like using a battery in a device and as the battery gets weaker, it supplies less voltage and the device slows down or a flashlight get dimmer till it stops working. A 1.5 amp power source is capable of delivering 1.5 amp of current to the device. If the device need less (only 1 amp), it still gets the amount it needs to function. If the power supply was rated at 10 A or 100 A, the device will still only use 1 A to function. If the power supply were rated at less than 1 amp. The device might not get enough current to run.
Can a 200 watt converter power 0.6 amp device?
Not unless the device is running at less than 333 volts.
Can you reduce 12 volt 5 amp powers supply to power a 12 volt to 150 milliamp camera?
You don't need to reduce the power supply. A device will only draw as much as it needs. A power supply of 12 volts 5 amps is the same as 12 volts 5000 mA. So you see that the power supply has more that ample capacity to operate a 150 mA camera. The thing to watch for is that both supply and camera need the same type of voltage, be it AC or DC. You can not cross that up and use AC on a DC device or vice versa.
Can you use a device requiring 5 volts and 2 Amp with an adapter supplying 5 volts and 1 Amps?
The supply device must have an output voltage that matches that of the load, and a current rating that exceeds that of the load. So you cannot use a load that draws 2 A from a supply device that is rated at only 1 A.
Can you use a 9v-1a power supply when it calls for 9v-2000ma?
Unfortunately no, if the device calls for 2000ma you will need a 2A (amp) power supply to adequately power it.
How much amp for 65w mains charger power supply unit?
To answer this question a voltage is needed. Amps = Watts/Volts.
Will a 12v 1.5 amp device work with 12v 2.5 amp replacement power supply?
No. The amperage describes the total electrical energyeither produced or consumed. Voltage just describes the potential. If the power cable or power supply are only capable of 1 amp and the device consumes 2 amps... sorry, you don't have enough electrical energy available.
Can you use 1 amp power supply for 1.5 amp device?
The simple answer is, No. But I'll give you the long answer, too. The power rating of most devices is the maximum power used under unusual circumstances. Most devices, unless it's something like a light bulb which is either on or off, don't use their max power 99% of the time. If you protect the circuit with a 1.0 amp fuse you protect your power supply and device and you can safely see if it works.
