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

Can you use a 13v 850ma power supply in place of 13v 800ma?

Yes. The voltage is the same on each. The ma rating of the power supply is the current the supply can handle before burning up. So if your appliance is designed to work on an 800ma supply, an 850ma supply will do fine.


What are the safety precautions in using breadboard?

Never work on a circuit while the power supply is on.


What is the load side?

When discussing electricity it is common to break into two parts. There is the supply side which is where the power exists and the load side where the work gets done. In a lighting the supply side would be your house power, for example; and the load would be the bulb. In a flashlight the supply is the battery and the load is the bulb.


What happens when 110 volt equipment is plugged into a 110 volt source?

Each equipment has electrical specifications; for example most laptop chargers are rated to handle 110V to 240V at either 50-60Hz. In other words; the charger can be plugged into either 110V or 240V and it will adjust automatically and keeps the output at the voltage the computer requires. Some desktops have an option on the power supply to accept either voltage, which must be set manually. However; much of the electrical equipments are set to a single voltage and it can not be changed. should someone plug in a 110V rated equipment into a higher voltage (i.e. 240) then the internal parts will burn.


How do you activate 240v coil using a 240v contactor?

The coil can be operated by taking one leg of the 240 volts from the top of the contactor and connecting it to one terminal of the coil. Take the other leg of the 240 volts from the top of the contactor and connect it to the device used to turn the contactor off and on. From this switching device take the switched wire and connect it to the other terminal on the contactor's coil. Now when the switching device is activated the contactor will open and close.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energizedIF YOU ARE NOT REALLY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.

How Does a 24V Switching Power Supply Work?

A 12V switching power supply is an electronic device that converts high-frequency alternating current (AC) to low voltage direct current (DC) that can be useful for powering electronic devices that require low voltage DC power, such as LED lights, home appliances, and computers.


What does a power supply fan do?

A power supply fan keeps the power supply cool. The semiconductor components get hot in a switching power supply, and this fan keeps things cool and helps prevent the power supply from damaging itself from excessive heat. As an example, when you play games, the video card requires a lot more current. That means the power supply has to work harder. The switching transistors in the power supply have to operate at a higher frequency and pass electricity through them a higher percentage of the time. That in turn causes them to get hot. The fan helps pull this heat away and protects these components.


How does work ic-7805 in infrared object counter?

The 7805 is a three terminal 5 volt regulated power supply. You provide a ground, a DC supply somewhat higher than 7 volts, and it provides a regulated 5 volts output.


Can you plug your US laptop into a Korean 220 Volt socket without damaging it?

What does input volts and output volts mean?

The terminology would typically reference a device such as a power supply, charger, diverter or transformer. The Input Voltage is the voltage supplied to the device to make it work. The Output Voltage is what the device supplies to an application. For example, a power supply for a laptop might convert 120 VAC to a voltage like 19.5 volts (A Sony Laptop) for charging a laptop battery.


What does 100 to 240 V mean for use in the UK?

If "100 to 240 V" is stated on the rating plate of a small electrical appliance, such as an electric razor or a plug-in power supply for something else, that means it is designed to operate on any voltage between 100 Volts and 240 volts. * So the appliance will work if it is plugged into a 120 Volt household AC power supply in the US, Canada or elsewhere in the world which uses a similar supply and * it will also work on a 230 Volt household AC power supply in the UK or any other country in Europe or elsewhere in the world which uses a similar supply.


Can an 8x card be used in a 4x slot?

For the most part AGP 8x Cards WILL NOT work with a AGP 4x slot. The motherboard will only supply 1.5 volts of power to the card leaving the other half with no power and will not work properly.


How do you work out watts for solar power?

Answer You need the Voltage and the amps it can supply then use the magic triangle formula that is Watt = Amps X Volts say 400mA 12 volt that will work out to .4X12 = 4.8 watt


Will a 240V 60hz cooktop Summit Appliance Three Burner CR3240 work in with 220V 50hz power?

The resistive elements will work. On 240 volt 60 Hz North American ranges there are clock and timer controls. These are operated on 120 volts. That is why these ranges are fed with a three wire cable. Two hots (240 volts) and a neutral (120 volts to either "hot" leg). A 220 volt 50 Hz power supply will not have a split winding to supply the range with its 120 volt source.

Full form of switch mode power supply?

An auto-switching power supply is one which can switch between power inputs instantaneously, preventing a loss of current to the machine. These power supplies may have redundancy built into them (in effect, they may be one or more traditional power supplies built to work together), or they may not. the key is that they have multiple power inputs (usually in the form of two or more power cords), and can chose which ones to draw power from.


Would 120 volts 60Hz power tools work on 220 volts 50Hz?

No, the extra voltage will burn them out very quickly !
