If an adaptor is marked with output 12v dc and 2000mA does this mean the appliance draws 2amps when in use?
Yes and No.
You have three types of adaptors:
constant current with variable voltage output.
constant voltage with variable current output.
constant voltage with constant current output.
What you are talking about is the latter. This means that the adaptor was created for a specific appliance requiring 12V/2A, which it will indeed use.
Heavier appliance will not draw enough current/voltage and will malfunction.
Lighter appliance will draw too much current/voltage and will overload/shortcircuit.

Can you use any 220 volt adaptor on a 110 volt appliance?
No, it is generally not safe to use a 220 volt adaptor with a 110 volt appliance. Doing so can cause damage to the appliance and may pose a safety hazard. It is recommended to use the correct voltage adaptor or converter for the specific appliance to ensure proper functioning.
Can you use 15 watt converter for 9 volt appliance?
It is not recommended to use a 15 watt converter for a 9 volt appliance as the voltage output may be too high, potentially damaging the appliance. It is best to use a converter that provides the correct voltage output for the appliance to ensure safe operation.
What affects the amount of electric energy an appliance uses?
The power rating of the appliance, the duration of use, and how efficiently the appliance converts electricity into its working output all affect the amount of electric energy an appliance uses. Additionally, factors like the size of the appliance, its energy-saving features, and how often it is used can also play a role in determining its energy consumption.
Can you use a 6 volt 2500mA power out put for a 6 volt 2000mA original power cord?
Yes, you can use a 6V 2500mA power output for a device that requires a 6V 2000mA power cord. The device will only draw the current it needs, so the higher amperage rating will not harm the device. It is important to match the voltage, but having a higher amperage rating is safe.
What does 1700mA mean on an ac adaptor?
The 1700mA rating on an AC adaptor indicates its maximum output current capacity, meaning it can provide up to 1700 milliamperes (or 1.7 amperes) of electrical current to connected devices. This specification is important for ensuring that the adaptor can supply enough power for the device it is meant to support. Using a device that requires more current than the adaptor can provide may lead to insufficient power, potentially causing malfunction or damage. Conversely, using an adaptor with a higher mA rating than required is typically safe, as the device will only draw the amount of current it needs.
Can you use any 220 volt adaptor on a 110 volt appliance?
No, it is generally not safe to use a 220 volt adaptor with a 110 volt appliance. Doing so can cause damage to the appliance and may pose a safety hazard. It is recommended to use the correct voltage adaptor or converter for the specific appliance to ensure proper functioning.
Is an American adaptor the same as a french adaptor?
No, each device has a different input and output.
If the original power supply indicates an output 9v and 700mA and you use one that indicates an output of 9v and 2000mA will this disturb the performance of the machine a pedal effect or even ruin it?
No.
Can I use an adaptor that has output of 12 volts 1000 ma to replace an adaptor has 12 volt 3 amps?
No, Your original adaptor has an output of 3 amps or 3000 ma. As you can see, the one you want to use for a replacement adaptor only has 1000 ma output, one third of the current capacity that you need.
Can an ac adapter's output be AC?
Yes an AC adaptors output can be AC. In order to change the output to AC a few components inside of the adaptor has to be removed. Pretty much all that has to be removed from the adaptor are the diodes. The gaps in the circuit then have to be bridged in order for the electricity to continue to flow to the output plug. However this can cause problems with the circuit causing the capacitors to explode. I dont recommend modifying an adaptor to output AC. Just go out and buy another one.
Is this the correct power adaptor I have a seagate free agent desk and I dont know where the power adapter is and apparently it needs a 12v 2a adapter so I found an old one and used it Ok or not?
If the one you found has an output rating of 12 volts and at least 2 amps (also could be shown as 2000mA) it should work. Check to see if your device needs an AC or DC voltage and whether the one you found has the right rating on the adapters output.
Does the iPad 2 have an av output?
You have to purchase a separate adaptor for this. You can do av output, hdmi output and even connect it with AirPlay onto your Apple TV.
You have an acdc adaptor but you dont know what its for?
Check the output voltage and mA capacity on the nameplate of the adaptor. The adapter will be useful on devices at that DC voltage and up to the mA capacity of the adaptor E.g. the nameplate may read Input: AC120 volts 5 watts. Output: DC 12 volts 200 mA.
What is the size of the ac adaptor for a fiber optic tree?
input 230-240v output 12v-55va
Should the input of an ac adaptor match the output of the device?
If it is an adapter then logically it should be adapting from one thing to another so no the output will not be the same as the input.
What does 800MA mean on an adaptor?
The term "800mA" on an adaptor indicates its maximum output current capacity, which is 800 milliamperes. This means the adaptor can supply up to 800mA of current to connected devices without exceeding its rated capacity. If a device requires more current than the adaptor can provide, it may not function properly or could be damaged. Always ensure that the current rating of the adaptor matches or exceeds the requirements of the device it is powering.
Is it ok to use an adaptor with 4.5V 100mA output which works for an Omron BP measurement machine which needs 6.0 V 500mA output?
No. Both the voltage and the current are too low.
