What will happen if use a 12v 400ma instead of 12v 500ma?

i am not sure, BUT according to the answer in this post:Can_you_use_a_9V_600mA_adapter_on_a_9V_400ma_scanneryou need an adaptor of 9v and AT LEAST 500mA (assuming that the appliance draws 500mA)


Can you use a 12v 500mA switching adapter going to a 12v 700mA security camera?

If the camera actually uses 700 mA in order to do its job, then the 500 mA adaptor will warm up, then overheat, and eventually fail.


If an adaptor is marked with output 12v dc and 2000mA does this mean the appliance draws 2amps when in use?

Yes and No. You have three types of adaptors: constant current with variable voltage output. constant voltage with variable current output. constant voltage with constant current output. What you are talking about is the latter. This means that the adaptor was created for a specific appliance requiring 12V/2A, which it will indeed use. Heavier appliance will not draw enough current/voltage and will malfunction. Lighter appliance will draw too much current/voltage and will overload/shortcircuit.


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 you use output 12v 5A for 12v 3.0A?

Yes, you need to match the Voltage, the current (A) need to be the same or higher.

Can i use dishwasher and washing machine on multiple plug?

If you only have one wall socket where the washing machine and dishwasher are, then you could plug in a multi-plug adaptor, into which both appliances could then be plugged in. There are also multi sockets in a strip with a single plug on a short cable available. For instance, in my outhouse, I have a dryer and a washing machine that are plugged into a three way adaptor. The adaptor is then plugged into a RCD, or residual current device. Finally, the RCD is plugged into the single wall socket.


Can you use 15V 4A adaptor for your laptop instead of 19V 3.42A?

No. The machine will notice that it isn't getting all the required voltage and won't run.

Is it ok to use an adaptor with 4.5V 100mA output which works for an Omron BP measurement machine which needs 6.0 V 500mA output?

No. Both the voltage and the current are too low.


Can I use 12V DC output universal ACDC adaptor with equipment that uses AC adapter 12VAC 2A?

There are many electronics today that run on 12 volt DC power. The good news for anyone who is traveling is that you can use a 12 volt AC adapter 12 VAC 2A.
