As I just got a 12-volt GPS for a truck with a 24-volt system and the GPS must be plugged into the lighter socket is there a cheap and easy way to connect the GPS into the truck's electrical system?
just so you know, all trucks used to have a full 24 volt system and cars had a 6 volt system so the design is not a nightmare. still a lot of tractors about with a 6 volt system. now a good electrician can connect a 12 volt unit to a 24 volt system if he knows what he is doing it is just a matter of knowing where to do it on a battery. you can also buy a voltage converter and wire it in. and yes you can still buy 24 light bulbs Before you go deep inside this, check the voltage on the cigarette lighter. It should only be 12 volts. The 24 volts are used in starting the truck only. By thinking this through, designing a vehicle that worked on a 24-volt electrical system would be a disaster. No one would buy it. All the current electrical components for vehicles are for 12-volt systems. Lights, gauges, radios - everything! How much trouble would it be to replace something like, say, a map light if a 24-volt lamp had to be located? Alternativley Check the powercable as many of them can work on different voltage say from 10 to 30 volts and power the gps with the correct voltage.
How do you convert 12 volt trailer lights to 24 volts?
Change the trailer light bulbs to 24 volts and supply a 24 volt source to power them, in that order.
How do you convert 24 volt trailer lights to 12 volt?
All you have to do is change the bulbs to 12 volts and supply the trailer with a 12 volt power source. If you leave the original 24 volt bulb in the trailer they will only glow at 1/2 of their rated wattage.
What are the 2 advantages of 24 Volt current?
Low voltage circuits are any circuits under 30 volts, usually 24 volts. 24 volt circuits are usually control circuits. The amount of current in these systems is usually small, under 5 amps. Since the voltage and amperage is very low, wiring can be much smaller and therefore much cheaper to install than "line" voltage wiring. Low voltage is also much safer.
What is meant by 300Ah battery?
300 ah means that battery can supply 300 am for 1 hr at 12v or 24 v, whichever volt it is producing. for e.g. at 450 Watt load , the current flow=450/24 at 24 volt=18.75am. life of battery will be 300/18.75=16hr and at 12 volt it will have 8hr life only at 450 watt load.
How many volts is a tractor battery?
It depends on the age and size of the tractor. The older tractors were 6 volt systems. Newer more modern tractors are generally 12 volt systems. Large Horse power machines will probably have 24 volt systems.
How much voltage required for air conditioner?
The wire sizing of any equipment is related to the amperage that the equipment draws. Look on the air conditioner and restate the question and give the amps that the unit uses and at what voltage.
How many volt DC systems are used in a car?
Most cars use a 12 volt system. Most cars built before about 1956 used a 6 volt system. Some, very few, use a 24 volt system.
