The simple answer is, No. But I'll give you the long answer, too.
The power rating of most devices is the maximum power used under unusual circumstances. Most devices, unless it's something like a light bulb which is either on or off, don't use their max power 99% of the time.
If you protect the circuit with a 1.0 amp fuse you protect your power supply and device and you can safely see if it works.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Can you use a 2.0 amps power supply for a 1.0 amps router?
Yes, you can use a 2.0 amps power supply for a 1.0 amps router. The higher amp rating means the power supply can provide more current than the router needs, which is fine. Just ensure the voltage output of the power supply matches the router's requirements to prevent damage.
Can your 40 amp electric stove be use in your new apartment of 20 amp?
If the supply is a 20 amp supply it cannot supply a 40 amp stove, you need a bigger supply or a smaller stove.
Can you use a 12v dc 1a power supply on device that requires 12v dc 3200ma?
No, the 1A power supply does not provide enough current (3200mA required) for the device to operate properly. You need a power supply that can deliver at least 3200mA to meet the device's power requirements. Using an underpowered supply may result in the device not functioning correctly or potential damage.
Can you use a 3 amp adapter on 5 amp device?
NO
Can you use 5 volts 1.2 amp power supply on 5 volts 3.0 amp device?
No you can not. The power supply output of 1.2 amps is under sized. You would need to have a power supply of 3 amps or larger.
Can you use a 9v-1a power supply when it calls for 9v-2000ma?
Unfortunately no, if the device calls for 2000ma you will need a 2A (amp) power supply to adequately power it.
Is it okay to use a 12 volts 600 milliamp DC power supply with a device that says it needs 12 volts 1 amp?
No, 1 amp is 1000 milliamp your power supply will only deliver 600 milliamp or .6 of an amp.
Can I use a 3amp supply on a 2amp supply?
Yes, you can use a 3-amp power supply on a device that requires a 2-amp supply, as long as the voltage matches. The 3-amp supply can provide the necessary current without overloading the device. However, the device will only draw the current it needs (2 amps), so there’s no risk of damage from the higher amperage. Just ensure that the voltage rating is correct to avoid potential issues.
Can I use 1.5 amp power supply to operate a 220 miliamp device?
yes, as long as the voltage is the same, the device will only take what it needs as far as amperage.
Can I use a 16vac 4A power supply to power 16vac 1000ma tube amp?
Yes, 1000 ma equates to 1 amp. The 4 amp power supply will have more than enough capacity to operate any device drawing 1 amp.Just make sure that the voltages match. AC voltage of the power supply to AC voltage on the device. You can not cross voltages using a DC power supply to operate an AC device, or the other way around, an AC power supply to operate a DC powered device, even though the voltage values are the same.
Will a 12v 1.5 amp device work with 12v 2.5 amp replacement power supply?
No. The amperage describes the total electrical energyeither produced or consumed. Voltage just describes the potential. If the power cable or power supply are only capable of 1 amp and the device consumes 2 amps... sorry, you don't have enough electrical energy available.
What will be the effects of using a 12V 1.5A power source to a 15V 1A device?
Most likely, yes. If your device requires 12 volt and draws 1 Amp of current, a 12 volt power supply will give the required voltage and will be able to supply the 1 amp of current it needs to run. A power supply that supplies a little more voltage might also work but depending on the device may cause the device to fail sooner. Much more than 12 volts will most likely destroy the device and result in a burning smell and smoke. A power supply for less than 12 volts may fail to power the device or may make it run slower. This would be like using a battery in a device and as the battery gets weaker, it supplies less voltage and the device slows down or a flashlight get dimmer till it stops working. A 1.5 amp power source is capable of delivering 1.5 amp of current to the device. If the device need less (only 1 amp), it still gets the amount it needs to function. If the power supply was rated at 10 A or 100 A, the device will still only use 1 A to function. If the power supply were rated at less than 1 amp. The device might not get enough current to run.
Can you use a 12 volts 3 amp power supply on a 12 volt 500 milliamp device?
Your power supply can supply 1 A, but your device requires 2 A. So the power supply will be overloaded. So the simple answer is no.
Is it okay to use a 5 volts amp DC power supply with a device that says it needs 5 volts 2 amp?
It looks like the crucial number was left out of the question, between the words "volt ... amp DC". If the device says it needs 5 volts at 2 amp, it will run safely on any DC power supply rated at 5 volts and (2 or more) amps.
What is the use of a power supply?
power supply is a device that supplies electric power to electrical load
What type of wire should I use for my RV that requires a 50 amp power supply?
For an RV that requires a 50 amp power supply, you should use a 6-gauge wire.
