A: Ripple is a residual voltage evident as voltage following the AC input frequency. The ripple magnitude is a function of not enough of both filtering capacitance or overloading the output. Increasing capacitance will reduce the ripple or reducing the loading

Unit of ripple factor?

Ripple, in DC power supplies, is technically unitless. Ripple voltage is specified in Volts/Volt, or a percentage. For example, a 12VDC power supply with 120mV (pk-pk) of ripple voltage is (0.12/12) = 1% ripple voltage.


Can you replace a 5 volt power supply with a 10 volt power supply?

If the power supply has a 5 volt tap on the secondary side of the transformer, yes. If there is no tap and the secondary side of the power supply is only 10 volts then no, you can not substitute the higher voltage unit.


Can you use a 10 volt power supply for a 9 volt keyboard?

Using a 10 volt power supply for a 9 volt keyboard is not a good idea. The higher voltage will cause damage to the keyboard, burning it out and making it useless.


What is the permissible voltage drop in a 120 volt power supply?

5% from source to farthest load.


The output voltage from a PC power supply are?

Generally, there will be a 12+ volt rail, a 5+ volt rail and often a 3+ volt rail.


What are the 3 wires on a map sensor for a 5.7 hemi?

What does Volt-Amp mean?

A 'volt ampere' (not 'volt amp'!) is the unit for theapparent power of a load in an a.c. circuit. It is simply the product of the supply voltage and the load current.


Can you run a three phase appliance on 240 volt power supply?

No. You need a 3-phase supply that matches the voltage and current rating of your appliance.


What will happen if I try to use a 19 volt power supply to power a 12 volt device?

You run the risk of permanently destroying the device. Some devices have a built-in regulator and can handle a higher voltage (within reason) but many devices don't. So, don't take a chance. Use a voltage regulator or a different power supply.


What type of power does a power supply convert to?

A power supply is generally only converting the mains voltage down to a lower voltage suitable for low voltage equipment. It turns 120 v into 18v or 12v or 5v or any other voltage it is specified for. In most countries outside US, we have 220 volt AC in the mains. Power is however power. One could say that Voltage is the speed of which the power run. A power supply generally slows down the speed of electricity. Regards.


What is ac adaptor?

Also called a power supply, plugs in to a standard wall outlet to provide 12 volt DC or 24 volt AC power for cameras and other low voltage devices


Can you use a 120 volt power bar with 240 volts power supply?

No, but check the specification on the power bar to see what its maximum voltage rating is. There will be a bit of cord end cutting to get the right configuration for 240 volt equipment.
