Can a 100 mA adapter be substituted with a 200 mA adapter?

A 9V 1A adapter will supply up to 9 Watts of power and a 9V 200mA adapter delivers up to 1.8W of power. The 200mA adaptor may not be able to supply enough power to a device that has been supplied with a 1A adapter. The 1A adaptor should operate equipment that originally used a 200mA adapter. Before using a different power supply, check that the outputs are both DC or both AC. If they are both DC, it is important to check that the polarity at the connector is the same for both. If AC and DC supplies are swapped or the polarity is swapped there is a risk that the equipment will be damaged.


Can you use 500 ma power adapter on a device that requires 625 ma?

No, the capacity of the device is too large. The adapter will heat up and may even burn its internal windings open.


Why 4mA is taken as the signal instead of 0 mA?

In a current loop, 4-20 ma is a typical range. We don't use 0 ma as a valid signal, because that is reserved for a broken wire or dead transmitter condition. The receiver is designed to offset and translate the 4-20 as necessary, with the break condition also being reported.


What is a falling load generator?

• Used to provide the highest mA settings at theshortest time possible.– The operator selects mAs setting– The computer automatically calibrates the time ofexposure (allowing consistently shorter exposures)– The mA is therefore controlled by the falling-loadgenerator.– The mA starts at the highest possible setting and“falls” throughout the exposure.• This causes the kV to fluctuate slightly throughoutexposure.• Can shorten tube life due to constant use of high mA


1500 ma is a amp and a half?

Yes. 1500 mA = 1.5 A

Can you use an AC adaptor - 3v dc 800 ma to replace AC adaptor - 9 v DC 250 ma?

no, must be 3v


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 you use a 6v1000 Ma power adaptor in place of a 6v700 Ma?

Yes. Higher amperage source is ok but not higher voltage.


Can you use a 12 v 1000 ma AC adaptor instead of 12 v 700 ma AC adaptor?

Yes, the 1000 mA has more that enough capacity to operate a 700 mA device. If the 700 ma adapter was original equipment with the device it was to charge, then the device is more than likely drawing about 500 to 600 mA. Look on the device's nameplate and you should see the mA draw.


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.


Can a person replace a 12V 350 mA adapter with a12V 450mA adapter?

Yes, the adaptors mA name plate capacity is the maximum amperage that can be drawn from the device. The load of what is plugged into the adaptor is what governs the draw from the adaptor.If the adaptor with the 350 mA maximum load worked, then the 450 ma adaptor has more than enough capacity for the connected device.Just make sure that the adaptor is the same output voltage type. Some are rated at 12 VAC at 450 mA, while others are 12 VDC at 450 mA. The output voltages must match to be interchangeable.


Can you use an AC adaptor - 6v dc 1300 ma to replace AC adaptor - 6 v DC 800 ma?

Yes you can. All the 1300 mA rating means is that adaptor can supply devices up to 1300 mA. The old adaptor's limit was 800 mA. The new adapter has 500 mA more in reserve if it is ever needed.


Can a 9 volt 1600mA ac adapter be substituted for a 9 volt 300mA?

Yes, a 9 volt 1600 mA AC adapter can be substituted for a 9 volt 300 mA adapter. The mA number represents the highest allowable current to be drawn from the adaptor. The adaptor that you want to replace has only 300 mA maximum capacity. The new adaptor has five time the capacity of the old one which means that devices that draw up to 1600 mA can be connected to it. Depends on what you are pluging into.. if could possible run unit hot..


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.


Is an American adaptor the same as a french adaptor?

No, each device has a different input and output.


Can you use a 12v 1a adaptor for a 800ma?
