Can you use 16v 4.5 amps for 16v 1.5 amps?
First, let me clarify the question: You want to use a 16V, 4.5 amp power supply to operate a device that uses 16V, 1.5 amps. That's not a problem, the larger power supply simply has the capacity of 4.5 amps, meaning that you can use anything UP TO 4.5 amps. On the other hand... if you want to try using a device that pulls 4.5 amps, using a 1.5 amp power supply... sorry, won't work out well. That would overheat the power supply and it would fail.
What are the applications of variable DC power supply?
variable dc supply are used to get desired amount of dc supply
What pieces of information are needed before selecting a power supply?
The main piece of information needed is the load wattage or amperage that will be connected to the power supply. Once this is known the power supply of a greater size that the load should be chosen. Also with this information the size of the wires can be calculated from the power supply to the load. Too small a wire will create a voltage drop at the load end of the circuit. This will cause under performance of the load.
If the power supply does not spin what should you do?
infact i think the power supply be replaced with new one. infact i think the power supply be replaced with new one.
What happens to your appliances if there is not enough power and the power trips?
If there is not enough power and the power trips, your appliances will lose power abruptly. This sudden loss of power can cause damage to sensitive electronics and appliances, particularly if the power surges when it returns. It is recommended to use surge protectors and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) devices to protect your appliances in such situations.
Can a bad power supply cause a CPU to overheat?
Yes, if your fan stops working because your power supply went bad, the CPU could overheat very easily and shut down or even crash resulting in loss of data.
Why does the power supply unit have a fan built?
To keep the power supply cool. If there were no fan the power supply would overheat and fail.
Can you use a graphics card that requires a power supply of 270watts on a machine with a power supply of 250watts?
I believe this would be unwise, it would overload the power supply and it may overheat.
Will global warming cause the nuclear power plants to overheat and explode?
No
Why do computer components have fans inside them?
Computers can have more than one fan in the case. The purpose of the fan(s) are to circulate air, drawing air in from the outside and blowing it through the power supply, over the CPU and other heat generating components to remove the heat they generate and carry the heat outside the computer box or cabinet. Without this, the heat buildup in the computer can cause components to overheat and fail leaving you with a computer that does not work.
What will happen if i connect a power supply of higher current rating to lower current load?
The supply won't have to work as hard. It is perfectly acceptable, for example, to use a 1A, 12v supply to supply a 12v, .5A load. The current rating indicates the ability of the supply to dissipate heat caused by the current flowing. If the load current is above the power supply current rating, the power supply will overheat.
Why should you have to check the power supply fan?
If it is a computer power supply then the fan is one of the main cooling fans for a PC. If it is not working then there is an extremely good chance that the system will overheat and shut down at best, be damaged at worst.
Will a bad fuel filter cause a car to lose power?
A partially clogged fuel filter will cause hard starting, stalling, and loss of power. It will also cause the fuel pump to overheat and self destruct.
Is that possible that a computer will overheat when it is not in use?
No this is not possible unless you keep it in hot sun(just kidding). Its not possible unless you supply any kind of power to it.
Will a bad thermostat cause a car to lose acceleration?
By itself, the thermostat would have to be stuck closed causing a severe overheat condition to cause a loss of power.
Does the Antec EarthWatts 650 Power supply ever over heat?
The EarthWatts can overheat, but under normal circumastances in a well-ventilated room, should be fine.
What can cause a faulty power supply?
A faulty power supply does not supply any power at all to a computer or supplies incorrect voltages. Most of the time faulty power supplies are not serviceable and require replacement.
