What else can I help you with?
Will a 12 volt auto light-bulb work on 12 volt AC?
Yes, a 12 volt auto light bulb can work on 12 volt AC, but the light output might be slightly lower compared to when using DC. The bulb will still produce light, but it may flicker due to the alternating current.
What is the ac voltage reading between the bare copper wire and the hot black wire 120 vac or zero volt?
Should be about 120 VAC.
Can you run 12 volt DC adapter equipment with a 12 volt transformer?
The output of a 12 volt transformer is an alternating current (AC). Your adapter is a 12 volt transformer but it has a built in half wave or, more expensive ones, a full wave bridge rectifier. What this rectifier does is change AC to DC. Bridge rectifiers are cheap to purchase. Connect it to the output of the 12 volt transformer and you will get a DC voltage. Great little project.
Can you power a 12 volt dc indicator light from a 16 volt ac door bell transformer?
No, the 12 VDC light must have a DC supply and the transformer voltage as well as being 16 volts which is too high, the output is AC.
What size of wire is needed to run a 20 amp 2 pole breaker for a 220 volt window AC unit?
12 guage. The most current that can be sustained in 12 Ga wire is 20 Amps. Almost all 12 Ga wire sold for home use can handle 600 volts, so your 220 v A/C is covered. The voltage rating should appear on the jacket of the wire sheath.
Will a 120 volt AC to 12 volt AC adapter charge a 12 volt car battery?
No, the battery is DC not AC.
Will a 120 volt AC to 12 volt AC adapter charge a car battery?
No, auto batteries are DC not AC.
Can you run a 12 volt ac water pump with a 12 volt dc adapter?
No. You need 12 volt AC to run a 12 volt AC motor, not 12 volt DC.
Can you wire a 240 volt window ac from a 277 volt feed?
no
Is the black wire the hot wire in PCs just like in home wiring and AC circuits?
No, internal PC wiring colors do not correspond to the standard AC wiring colors. Computer power supplies provide direct current to the computer and peripherals. When using direct current, the black wire is the ground wire. The red wire to the peripheral supply cables are 5 volt, and the yellow wire is 12 volt. Some SATA power connectors have an orange wire that is 3.3 volt.
Can you charge a 12 volt battery with a 14 volt alternator?
Yes. It is done all the time in automotive electrical systems. The alternator, which creates AC, has its current rectified using diodes.
How do you get a 12 volt pm alternator to give you 110 volt ac?
Purchase a power inverter.
Will a 12 volt auto light-bulb work on 12 volt AC?
Yes, a 12 volt auto light bulb can work on 12 volt AC, but the light output might be slightly lower compared to when using DC. The bulb will still produce light, but it may flicker due to the alternating current.
Can you replace 12v vdc adapter by 12v vac adapter?
No, 12 volt AC is a different from 12 volt DC. Have a second look at the 12 AC volt adapter's output label. Most adapters contain a bridge rectifier in them that makes a conversion within the adapter. An example of this is in phone chargers.
110 volt ac car alternator?
I hope not, it'll cook the 12 volt DC system.
How can you test an AC Blower motor on a '97 Cadillac DeVille with the automatic air control system?
Red and black wires are +12- volt, jumper the gray wire to ground to test.
Why do i still have 12 volt when i use disconnect switch in my RV?
The RV has a 12 Volt DC power supply that operates all the 12 Volt DC items in your RV when your plugged in to 110 V AC.
