How do you use a PC power supply for a car amp?

You will need old comp power supply. +12 V is on YELLOW wires. -(minus) or ground is BLACK If you have ATX power supply (that one without wires going to power switch on front - all PC now have ATX) you have to short GREEN and BLACK on main (the biggest plug to start power supply. So use any pair black/yellow to power car amplifier.


Did in philippines have a 2 phase electricity line supply as of now specially in residential houses...?

Two-phase systems have not been in general use for about 100 years because they were replaced by three-phase systems worldwide. Another type of power that is still used is 'split-phase' which is a single-phase supply using a centre-tapped transformer. For example a supply transformer has a 240 v secondary with a grounded centre-tap, so that two separate 120 v live wires are connected to the property, along with the neutral. High-power appliances like cookers or aircon can be connected across the two live wires to work at 240 v. Split-phase is also used in Europe with a 460 v centre tapped transformer used to supply a relatively small remote community, with individual properties fed a 230 v supply from one or other of the two live wires plus the neutral. The advantage is that it reduces the current in the neutral wire, and if both live wires happen to supply equal currents the neutral current going back to the transformer is zero, thus reducing power lost in the wire.


Why two phase supply is not used?

It is in some places, but not generally because it requires at least 3 wires, and can only transmit 2/3 of the power of an equivalent 3 wire, 3 phase system.


Where does the red wire in a baseboard heater connect to the black or white wire in the wall?

In the heater you will have two wires. You should then have 2 supply wires from the panel, and 2 wires from the thermostat. The neutral (white) supply wire should go to one of the wires on the heater. The hot (black) supply wire should connect to one wire from the thermostat. The other wire from the thermostat will connect to the other wire from the heater.


How do you replace house brakers?

To replace house breakers, first turn off the main power supply to ensure safety. Use a screwdriver to remove the panel cover and access the circuit breakers. Carefully disconnect the wires from the old breaker and remove it from the panel. Install the new breaker by connecting the wires securely and then replacing the panel cover before turning the power back on. Always consult a professional if you're unsure about the process.

How many wires supply electricity to your home?

There are three wires supplying power to your home two line wires @ 110 volts each and one nutral.

How can I connect LED strip lights to a power supply?

To connect LED strip lights to a power supply, first determine the voltage and current requirements of the LED strip lights. Then, match these requirements with a compatible power supply. Next, cut the LED strip lights to the desired length and strip the ends of the wires. Connect the positive () and negative (-) wires of the LED strip lights to the corresponding terminals on the power supply. Finally, plug in the power supply and test the LED strip lights to ensure they are working properly.


What are the coloured wires used in ATX power supply?

The color code of the wires in the power supply is: Red = +5V Black = Ground (0V) White = -5V Yellow = +12V Blue = -12V Orange = +3.3V Purple = +5V Standby Gray = power is on (output) Green = Turn DC on (input)


Why does the cable from the power supply to the motherboard have different colored wires?

Each wire carries a different voltage.


Why neutral is earthed always?

The two wires carrying a standard ac power supply are the live and the neutral. By convention one of the two wires is earthed at the transformer providing the supply. That then becomes the neutral and the other wire is the live.


What are the differences between black, white, and green wires in electrical wiring?

Black wires are typically used for power supply, white wires are used for neutral connections, and green wires are used for grounding in electrical wiring.


Why do circuits needs wires?

How else would you get electricity from one point to another? The wires or conductors conduct power from where it is generated to where it is used to power the many things you use in your day to day life.


Is power supply a component of CPU?

CPUs get power from two places-- From the motherboard through the tiny pins on the bottom of the CPU (Which in turn gets power from the 20 / 24 pin connector that connects tot he power supply) and from a 4 / 8 (Only on the newest boards) - pin connector that directly feeds the CPU a very steady supply of power. Both come from your actual Power Supply.
