Using a 20V adapter for a 12V machine can potentially damage the machine due to overvoltage. The machine might not be able to handle the higher voltage, leading to malfunctions or even permanent damage. It is important to use the correct voltage adapter to ensure the proper functioning and safety of the machine.
What else can I help you with?
Can you put 12V 50W light to 12v ac 2A adaptor?
No, you should not connect a 12V 50W light directly to a 12V AC 2A adaptor. The light requires a higher wattage than the adaptor can provide, which can damage both the light and the adaptor. You should use an adaptor that can supply the correct voltage and wattage for the light.
Can you use a 12v 500mA switching adapter going to a 12v 700mA security camera?
If the camera actually uses 700 mA in order to do its job, then the 500 mA adaptor will warm up, then overheat, and eventually fail.
What will happen if use a 12v 400ma instead of 12v 500ma?
i am not sure, BUT according to the answer in this post:Can_you_use_a_9V_600mA_adapter_on_a_9V_400ma_scanneryou need an adaptor of 9v and AT LEAST 500mA (assuming that the appliance draws 500mA)
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 a 12V ac bulb be used with 12V dc adapter or 12v DC supply?
Answer 1: No. Answer 2: This depends. The chances are that an AC adaptor can be substituted by a DC adaptor. It depends on what item it is powering. Not many items run directly on AC power. Most items that is shipped with an AC adaptor has got its own internal rectifier in order to make DC from AC. If you know enough about electricity and electronics to open up and check the item you need to power up, then check if it contain an internal rectifier. If it does, then it should be no problem. Some times however, the diodes used for rectifying the voltage are tightly dimensioned. 4 diodes is needed to rectify the power. 4 diodes of 500ma give you a usable current of about 1 Ampere if run with an AC power-source. If using a DC power-source however, the usable current is halved because only 2 of the 4 diodes will be used. Some items that use an AC adaptor is some clock-radios or answer-machines with time-telling. For these items it is likely that they will run fine on an DC adaptor except for the clock. In Europe, the AC is 50 Hz. In US, this frequency's is 60 Hz. This frequency is highly accurate and can be used to measure time for a clock. If using DC, then the clock will not function, but the rest should. Another issue is voltage... 12 v AC... when rectified and not stabilized, it will make about 16.8 volt. When powering some item, the voltage will drop, but always stay above 12 volt. Probably more like 14 volt. This depending on current drawn. If using a 12 v DC power-source, this will after diodes only give about 11.3 volt. It may still be enough for most appliances though. If not sure about what I am writing about, then you should find a perfect match AC adaptor to your "thing" and not even test a DC adaptor on it. IF the question was reverted. "Can I substitute a DC adaptor with an AC adaptor" then in 99.9% of cases this is a big NO. If putting AC where you should put DC, this will most likely lead to destruction of your item. You will "shortcut" capacitors and transistors. It may also cause fire.

Can you use a 12v-0.6a 7.2va adaptor instead of a 12v 1.5a adaptor?
No, you cannot use a 12V 0.6A (7.2W) adapter instead of a 12V 1.5A adapter. The 0.6A adapter provides insufficient current for devices that require 1.5A, potentially leading to underperformance or damage to the device due to inadequate power supply. Always match the voltage and ensure the current rating of the adapter meets or exceeds the device's requirements.

Can i use dishwasher and washing machine on multiple plug?
If you only have one wall socket where the washing machine and dishwasher are, then you could plug in a multi-plug adaptor, into which both appliances could then be plugged in. There are also multi sockets in a strip with a single plug on a short cable available. For instance, in my outhouse, I have a dryer and a washing machine that are plugged into a three way adaptor. The adaptor is then plugged into a RCD, or residual current device. Finally, the RCD is plugged into the single wall socket.
Can you use 15V 4A adaptor for your laptop instead of 19V 3.42A?
No. The machine will notice that it isn't getting all the required voltage and won't run.

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.
