It's usually printed on the device, on the box, or in the manual. Voltage can be measured easily and with no risk with a volt meter, while amps are a bit more tricky.

How can you change the 30v1000ma power output on your acdc power adapter to a output of around 30v1ma?

Your power adapter is rated up to 30 volts at 1000ma. (1 amp.) If you have a device which only draws 1 milliamp, then it should work with this adapter, as long as the voltage is correct.

Can you use a 19 volt 4.5 amp ac adapter to substitute a 19v 4.74 amp adapter?

Yes these voltages are close enough to be interchangeable.


Can you use replace 5V 3.6A ac adapter to 5V 2.6A ac adapter?

Well, trying to clarify your question, if you have a device that normally has a 5V 3.6A adapter, than it likely needs to be able to draw up to 3.6 amps or so for the device to operate normally. So, a 5V 2.6 amp adapter may operate at times, but only when the device is trying to draw less than 2.6 amps. If the device tries to draw more than 2.6 amps than you run the chance of burning out your transformer (the AC adapter), or just not having your device work. Both adapters will put out the 5 volts, but the 2.6 amp adapter will not provide enough current. You can safely use a larger adapter than the 3.6A, as your device will only draw as much current at 5 volts as it needs. On another note, do not try an adapter that puts out the same current but more voltage. Such as 7.5 volts 3.6 amps. This will overdrive your device and potentially burn it out.


What power adapter do you need to use for 7.2 watt 12 volt led lighting unit?

For a 7.2-watt, 12-volt LED lighting unit, you need a power adapter that provides 12 volts and at least 0.6 amps (since 7.2 watts divided by 12 volts equals 0.6 amps). It's advisable to choose an adapter with a slightly higher current rating, such as 1 amp, to ensure proper operation and avoid overloading the adapter. Make sure the adapter has the correct connector type and polarity to match your LED lighting unit.


Can a 12 volt 0.5 amp ac adapter substituted with a 7.5 volt 1 amp adapter?

No, it is not recommended to substitute a 12 volt 0.5 amp AC adapter with a 7.5 volt 1 amp adapter. The voltage and amperage ratings need to match the requirements of the device you are powering. Using a lower voltage adapter may not provide enough power, and using a higher voltage adapter can potentially damage the device.


How many volts do you need to power 2 watts?

watts = volts x amps, example-2 watts=2 volts x 1 amp, example- 2 watts=120 volts x .60 amp.


Can you charge 230 volts appliances with 130 volts?

No, you will need to obtain an adapter to change the 120 volts to 230 volts. The adapter must be sized to the load wattage of the 230 volt appliance. To find the load wattage multiply the amperage times the voltage of the appliance. Once this is assessed, the size of the adapter or transformer will be of equal or greater value than that of the connected appliance. The adapter will be rated in VA or KVA depending on the needed load amperage.


How do you calculate an amp?

You also need to know the Voltage and wattage. Amps= Watts / Volts. Try this iPhone App "Watts2Amps"


Can you use a 5V adapter on your 1800 watt hair dryer?

did you mean 5 amp ? if so the answer is no , as watts = volts x amps . so this means that 230 x 5 = 1150 watts is the max you can use
