It depends on the power rating of your voltage source. This should be indicated on its nameplate. Divide the power rating (in watts) by the voltage (in volts) to find the rated current available (in amperes).

The actual current drawn from the voltage source is, of course, determined by the load, but this value must not exceed the rated current described in the first paragraph.

It depends on the power supply. Some might provide only half an amp, while others might provide 20 amps.

The fusing of a system is dependant upon the size of the wire and the current of the load. Without these values the question can not be answered.

9 volt power supply in place of a 10 volt?

Probably ok if the new supply can produce the required amount of current in amps.


If 1.8 amps ac is being drawn from a 24 volt DC power supply what would the current draw be in DC amps?

A 24 volt DC power supply provides DC amps, not AC amps. You cannot draw 1.8 amps AC from a DC power supply, without some kind of inverter stage.That is the answer to the specific wording of the question. Now the answer to the question I think was originally intended...If 1.8 amps AC is being supplied to a 24 volt DC power supply, what would the current supplied by the power supply be?Power is volts times amps, so power supplied to the power supply is 120 VAC (assumed) times 1.8 amps, or 216 watts. If the power supply is 100% efficient, then the power input equals the power output, so use the some equation to take 216 watts and divide by 24 volts, and you get 9 amps.Keep in mind, this is ideal state, assuming 100% efficiency, and no real power supply will be that.

How do you get 4 ampere from 2 volt power supply?

if you connect a 0.5 ohm load to it, the power supply will try to push 4 amps through it. but 4 amps@ 2 volts is quite a lot, and it may not succeed.

How many amps are in 40 volt amps?

Multiply the vots by the amps to find the volt-amps. Or divide the volt-amps by the voltage to find the amps.

What is the difference between amps and volt-amps?

Amps is a measure of current flowing in a circuit. Volt-Amps or (VA) is a measure of power and is equivalent to wattage for a pure resistive load.


In a electric circuit does 115 volt using 9 amps have the same power and cost as 230 volt using 4.5 amps?

The cost is about the same using the equation Power= Voltage X Current . However , if the 115 volt electrical circuit is produced from a 230v supply though a transformer , then the transfomer incurs loses and therefore the cost is greater .
