What does 35V and 1000uF on capacitor specify?

1000 microfarads is its rated capacitance, while 35 volts is its rated voltage.


How do you convert a low-voltage outside lamp post to 110v?

This type of conversion could be troublesome. To change to 120 volt system means that the feed wire has to be rated for underground use and rated at 300 volts. Where as the existing low voltage wiring does not have to be subjected to these rules due to using low voltage. The lamp socket in the post is next. It has to be rated at 120 volts and the existing low voltage socket can not be used.


Will a switching power supply work on 277 volts?

Not unless it is rated for that voltage. You can likely find a step down transformer from 277 volt sto 120 volts.


Is the working voltage of led is equal to it's knee voltage?

A: LED follows an exponential curve just like a regular diode. However their make up moves the forward voltage from 1.8 volts to 3.2 volts and higher this differs from a regular diode where is the forward voltage is around .6 to.7 volts. Because of the higher voltage across these devices they cannot dissipate much power.


Is the voltage rating on a light bulb the rms value or peak value?

It's the RMS value. A 120 volt lamp (light bulb) is rated according to its RMS voltage. Just like appliances in the home are rated at 120 volts (like your fridge, microwave and toaster), or 220 volts (like your clothes dryer). Note that these appliances will have to stand up to the peak voltage on the AC line. Naturally. And the peak voltage on an AC line is 1.414 times the RMS value of voltage. That means in a 120 volt AC line (120 volts RMS), the peak value of the voltage will be 1.414 times the 120 volts, or right at about 170 voltspeak for each cycle.

Can a massage machine rated at 220 volts be used on 110 volts?

No. The machine must be used on the nameplate rated voltage.


Maximum rated voltage for a diode is?

Highly variable, depending on the type. For example a 1N457 is rated for 79 volts, while a 1N4007 is rated for 1200 volts.


Should the capacitors used in electronic circuits have a minimum voltage rating of 25 volts?

Capacitors used in electronic circuits need not have a minimum voltage rating of 25 volts. Electronic circuits powered by batteries at 12 volts and below should work fine with capacitors rated at 15 volts.


What does 35V and 1000uF on capacitor specify?

1000 microfarads is its rated capacitance, while 35 volts is its rated voltage.


Can you use ac dc adapter of 12 volts and 2 amps for an appliance rated for 7.5 volts and 1.8 amps?

To use an adapter of this sort, its rated voltage must match the rated voltage of the appliance, and its rated current must exceed that of the appliance. So, in your example, the rated voltage is too high to be used with your appliance.


If you have a roaster that is rated at 1450 watts what is the amperage?

Divide 1450 watts by 120 volts. Answer: 12.08 amps. This answer is on the assumption that the voltage is 120 volts. If you want an exact answer you must supply the voltage of the roaster.


Is sj cord rated for 300 volts to be used for 480 volt?

No. The voltage rating needs to be 600 volts for 480 volt power.


Can a device requiring 12 volts and 3 amps run with an adapter providing 12 volts and 2 amps?

No. Your power supply must be able to supply rated voltage (12 volts) and rated current (3 amps).


Have 160 volts electrical plugs?

In North America there are no plugs that are rated for 160 volts. The voltage rating on electrical devices for residential and commercial are 300 and 600 volts respectively.
