What does 10-32 vdc power source mean?
It means that a)the the power source gives outputs between 10 and 32 volts DC current OR b)The device needs beteen 10 and 32 volts DC current
What is the supply voltage on an automotive coil?
12 Vdc
Could you run your in-house electricity on a 12V system since all your appliances and radios and TVs mostly have a built-in transformer to reduce the current to a much lower voltage?
AnswerYou wouldn't want to. The Watts are the reason why.If you needed to power 2000 watts worth of appliances and you have a 120v system, you'd need a little under 17 amps to do it. A relatively thin 12-gauge wire will handle that much power. To power the same load with 12v current, you need 170 amps--and wire 3/8" in diameter.AnswerThe built-in transformer you speak of requires 110 volts. They're known as step-down transformers and are a ratio of the incoming voltage. For example: a 10:1 transformer will drop 100 volts to 10 volts. If you gave it 12V you'd end up with 1.2V.In short: No to your question.There are many appliances -- such as Google's servers -- that are designed to run on a 12 VDC supply. Appliances designed for recreational vehicles (RVs) and boats often run on 12 VDC.In theory, a technician with some knowledge of electronics could convert an appliance that is designed to require 110 VAC and convert it to require only 12 VDC. If you are lucky, the appliance already has a transformer and rectifier that converts input power to 12 VDC, and a technician can simply attach a 12 VDC power plug, cable, and fuse directly in to that point. In practice, you would need some system to prevent accidentally plugging the 12 VDC power plug into a 110 VAC outlet, which would probably destroy the appliance, and also prevent accidentally plugging in both the 12 VDC power plug and the 110 VAC power plug, which risks destroying the 12 V power supply.A few devices use the AC cycle to derive a time base (50 Hz or 60 Hz), and so cannot work on 12 VDC power alone, unless you use an "inverter" that generates that frequency.Some devices -- such as air conditioners -- require a lot of energy. Given a particular energy requirement, reducing the voltage by 1/10 means increasing the current by a factor of 10, which requires power lines with 10 times as much copper. Increasing the voltage allows us to reduce the amount of copper used -- which is one reason some automobiles have a "42 V automotive system".
How do you convort 48 vdc to - 48 vdc?
Converting 48 vdc to - 48 vdc is very easy. Just change the terminals. Instead of the positive terminal, connect the wire to the negative terminal.
What source of power is common in British Columbia?
Dams are a very common source of hydroelectric power in BC.
What is a 10-20 vdc power source?
A 10-20 vdc power source is a low output power supply used for small devices like battery chargers, notebook computers, and appliances. They use AC power input to convert it into DC power.
Can you charge a mobile phone directly from a 12 vdc power source?
It depends on the power source - too much current (Amps) can damage the battery and/or the phone. I usually charge mine from a USB port on my computer.
What is vdc power?
Vdc is an acronym for "Volts Direct Current". VDC is often shown on electrical schematics to indicate a connection to the positive side of a battery or other DC power source. In TTL logic, VDC is traditionally 5 volts and ground refers to Earth Ground (0 volts).
How much current will flow in a circuit with a 12 VDC source connected to a 1K-ohm load?
I = E/R = 12/1,000 = 0.012 ampere = 12 milliamperes.
How much electricity can a 12 volts battery produce?
A 12 volt battery supply a 12 VDC potential to a 12 VDC load.
When was Wakame-vdc created?
Wakame-vdc was created on 2011-12-24.
Dynamos are generators that send what?
The ones I worked with had an input of 12 vdc and output 400 vdc.
What size resistor to drop 12 vdc to 2vdc?
it is better to use zener diodes or transformators in order to drop 12 vdc to 2 vdc. If you do it with resistor you will waste you power. Voltage formula for resistors in series V1+V2+........+Vn=Vtotal, so 2Vdc+i.R=12Vdc. Determine the current for you supplier and calculate the value of resistance.
What does 10-32 vdc power source mean?
It means that a)the the power source gives outputs between 10 and 32 volts DC current OR b)The device needs beteen 10 and 32 volts DC current
Your power wire is not supplying enough voltage to handle your CD player this is the only wire that makes it work is there an alternative or am you somehow using the wrong wire?
Most modern automotive CD players have two power wires, and vehicles are set up to supply two power wires. One is 12 VDC switched, and the other is 12 VDC unswitched. The unswitched wire is for keeping the memory of the player/radio alive, the other is operate the player. The memory voltage wire will not provide enough power to operate the player. With the ignition key in the 'Accessory' position, test all wires going to radio location for 12 VDC. Now, turn key to 'Off' position, and test again. The one with 12 VDC is the memory wire.
What is the supply voltage on an automotive coil?
12 Vdc
Can you use a 12 VDC 2A adaptor on a 12 VDC 1A device?
Yes, there will be no problem with this adapter. The 1 amp device will only be drawing half of what the adapter can produce.
