steveggz Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Hi. If I lost a plug pack for a video camera but had another plugpack with the same voltage but different amprege (higher amprege), would it damage the components or does the camera use only what it needs?I know with AC a motor if pluged in a 15amp socket will only use what it needs, like 4 or 5 amps, but is it different with DC electronic components?

Guest Alun Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 As long as the appliance is rated for a lower or equal current than the supply all will be well, the only thing you have to watch out for is some supplies a regulated and some aren't if a a device requires a regulated supply and you connect it to an unregulated one the device could be damaged but it'll be alright if theis situation is reversed.
