Absolutely.
As long as the converter (or any power source) is rated at the same voltage, with more current than the device needs.
Sometimes, a device may have a higher initial current surge than it's operating current, keep this in mind. Some converters do a good job handling momentary surge, some don't.
What else can I help you with?
Can you reduce 12 volt 5 amp powers supply to power a 12 volt to 150 milliamp camera?
You don't need to reduce the power supply. A device will only draw as much as it needs. A power supply of 12 volts 5 amps is the same as 12 volts 5000 mA. So you see that the power supply has more that ample capacity to operate a 150 mA camera. The thing to watch for is that both supply and camera need the same type of voltage, be it AC or DC. You can not cross that up and use AC on a DC device or vice versa.
Is it okay to use a 5 volts amp DC power supply with a device that says it needs 5 volts 2 amp?
It looks like the crucial number was left out of the question, between the words "volt ... amp DC". If the device says it needs 5 volts at 2 amp, it will run safely on any DC power supply rated at 5 volts and (2 or more) amps.
Can you use a 12 volts 3 amp power supply on a 12 volt 500 milliamp device?
Your power supply can supply 1 A, but your device requires 2 A. So the power supply will be overloaded. So the simple answer is no.
Will a 12 dc volt 8 amp power supply run a 12DC volt 9 amp motor?
Yes but only up to a load torque of 8/9 of the rated torque.
Can we run a 110 volt 100 watt DC motor with 12 volt 5 amp power is the same so it should run?
Sorry, won't work. You need a 110 volt supply.
What does Volt-Amp mean?
A 'volt ampere' (not 'volt amp'!) is the unit for theapparent power of a load in an a.c. circuit. It is simply the product of the supply voltage and the load current.
What is the difference between volt-amp and watt, and how do they relate to each other in terms of measuring electrical power?
Volt-amp is a unit of apparent power, which is the combination of voltage and current in an electrical circuit. Watt, on the other hand, is a unit of real power, which is the actual power consumed by a device. The relationship between volt-amp and watt is that watt is the product of volt-amp and power factor, which represents the efficiency of the electrical system. In simple terms, watt is the actual power used by a device, while volt-amp is the total power flowing through the circuit.

What will be the effects of using a 12V 1.5A power source to a 15V 1A device?
Most likely, yes. If your device requires 12 volt and draws 1 Amp of current, a 12 volt power supply will give the required voltage and will be able to supply the 1 amp of current it needs to run. A power supply that supplies a little more voltage might also work but depending on the device may cause the device to fail sooner. Much more than 12 volts will most likely destroy the device and result in a burning smell and smoke. A power supply for less than 12 volts may fail to power the device or may make it run slower. This would be like using a battery in a device and as the battery gets weaker, it supplies less voltage and the device slows down or a flashlight get dimmer till it stops working. A 1.5 amp power source is capable of delivering 1.5 amp of current to the device. If the device need less (only 1 amp), it still gets the amount it needs to function. If the power supply was rated at 10 A or 100 A, the device will still only use 1 A to function. If the power supply were rated at less than 1 amp. The device might not get enough current to run.
Can you replace a 7 amp 125 volt power cord with a 3 amp 125 volt power cord?
If the device you are powering requires 7 amps of power, then no. You will need to find a replacement cord with 7 amps. Check the power input requirements of the device to find out.
Is it okay to use a 5 volts amp DC power supply with a device that says it needs 5 volts 2 amp?
It looks like the crucial number was left out of the question, between the words "volt ... amp DC". If the device says it needs 5 volts at 2 amp, it will run safely on any DC power supply rated at 5 volts and (2 or more) amps.
Can you use 1 amp power supply for 1.5 amp device?
It is not recommended to use a 1 amp power supply for a 1.5 amp device as the power supply may not provide enough current to operate the device properly. Using an underpowered power supply can lead to overheating and potential damage to both the power supply and the device. It is best to use a power supply that can provide the required current for the device.
Can you use a 12 volts 3 amp power supply on a 12 volt 500 milliamp device?
Your power supply can supply 1 A, but your device requires 2 A. So the power supply will be overloaded. So the simple answer is no.
Will a 12 dc volt 8 amp power supply run a 12DC volt 9 amp motor?
Yes but only up to a load torque of 8/9 of the rated torque.
Can you use 5 volts 1.2 amp power supply on 5 volts 3.0 amp device?
No you can not. The power supply output of 1.2 amps is under sized. You would need to have a power supply of 3 amps or larger.
Can you use a 9v-1a power supply when it calls for 9v-2000ma?
Unfortunately no, if the device calls for 2000ma you will need a 2A (amp) power supply to adequately power it.
Can a 12 volt 0.5 amp ac adapter substituted with a 7.5 volt 1 amp adapter?
No, it is not recommended to substitute a 12 volt 0.5 amp AC adapter with a 7.5 volt 1 amp adapter. The voltage and amperage ratings need to match the requirements of the device you are powering. Using a lower voltage adapter may not provide enough power, and using a higher voltage adapter can potentially damage the device.
