Yes, you can use a 300mA power supply in place of a 400mA supply, but it may not provide enough current for the device to operate properly. If the device requires 400mA and only receives 300mA, it may underperform, malfunction, or even be damaged due to insufficient power. It's important to ensure that the power supply meets or exceeds the current requirements of the device for safe and effective operation.
What else can I help you with?
What does 400mA mean on a light?
400mA refers to the amount of current the light consumes when it is operating. It stands for 400 milliamperes, which is a unit of electrical current. Knowing the current consumption can help you select the appropriate power supply for the light.
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)
What will happen if use a 12v 500ma instead of 12v 300ma?
Using a 12V 500mA power supply instead of a 12V 300mA power supply will likely be fine as long as the voltage matches, but the higher current capacity (500mA) means the power supply can deliver more current if needed by the device. The device will only draw the current it needs, so having a higher current capacity power supply should not cause any issues.
Can you use 5v 1000ma adapter on a 45v 400ma device?
No you can not. The power supply output of 5 volts is under sized. There is no way that a 45 volt device would operate from it. You will need to find a power supply of 45 volts.
Can you safely use a universal AC adaptor set for 9V 300mA for a game that requires a 9V 700mA?
No, a power adapter must supply the same voltage, same polarity, and at least as much current as the load requires. Your adapter can only supply 300mA, which is less than the 700mA required by the load.Your game probably will not turn on and the power adapter may be damaged.
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
Is ATX power supply can be used in place of AT power supply?
No because they have different connectors.
Can you use a DC 9v 300MA adaptor to power a 9v 400MA device?
The voltage would match but the amount of power would likely not be enough to run the device. Under-power will not likely harm the device, but it won't work correctly. Always use the correct voltage/power for your devices!
Can you use a 9v 300mA adapter on a device that requires a 9v 400mA adapter?
No. The voltage rating is the same, but the lower current rating on the 400ma power supply might cause the voltage to drop way below 12 volts, and on some devices a lower voltage than it is rated for will cause it damage.
Will 9v 300mA power adapter work with a 9v 700mA device?
No, the adapter's power output has to be equal to or greater that the current draw of the device.
Say the power consumption of my 12v devise is 80 mA or less and the instructions say use a 12v 300 mA power supply and I use a 12v 800mA OK or not?
Generally, yes. If your devise will only draw 80mA, it will do it whether it is connected to a supply that is capable of supplying 300mA or 800mA. The amperage rating on the power supply is the highest current that it is rated for. It will easily and safely provide less current. The load that is connected to the power supply will determine the actual amount of current.
Can you use a DC 7.2V 400mA transformer to power a small motor?
First, there are no DC transformers, transformers work on AC. If you have an AC/DC wall converter that has an output of 7.2 v DC, and a max current load of 400mA, then you can use this to power a DC motor that requires less than (7.2 x .4 = ) 2.88 watts of energy.
