Can you use AC adapter for DC?

If you plug AC adapter (suppose 120V AC) to a DC source of same voltage (120 V DC), it will burn or damaged immediately.

What is the maximum voltage you can use on a 12V DC motor?

12 V motor will work well with 12 V battery, and will be fine up to the maximum voltage the battery goes when fully charged. This means it will work well up to 14 V.

Can I use any 12V DC adapter?

They typically sell universal plugs that can be used for any device. Sometimes they even have selectable voltage and tip polarity. Your output voltage is wrong, which is the important part. You can safely use an adapter with the same output voltage, and a current (A/mA) rating equal or higher than the original.

Will a 12V motor run on 5v?

Probably not. The motor will not have much torque, if any. Depending on the motor size the current draw will go up and is likely to be more than the charger can supply. 5Vdc is less than 1/2 the expected drive voltage of 12Vdc.

Can I use 14v adapter for a 12v device?

You’ve not mentioned what the device is, but I’d say the answer to your question is: Yes you can. 14 V is not excessively high so all should be fine. More over, once you connect the device to the adapter (start drawing current), the voltage will probably drop somewhat, depending on how much current your device draws..

Can I use 24v on 12v motor?

If you were to run a 12v motor off a 24v battery the stall current could then be excessive if it weren’t limited by the controller. Therefore, provided you chose a controller suitable for the motor you use, you can usually run a motor 12v motor from a 24v battery with no effect except that full speed is doubled.

What is DC 12V used for?

Since these devices convert 12V DC power to AC power (the electricity from a standard wall plug), they can be used to run most electronic devices off car power. Whether you want to plug in a crockpot, dry your hair, or microwave a burrito in your car, you can do it with a car power inverter.

Are motors compatible with 50Hz and 60Hz power supply?

Depends on what is being weighed in the equation. Often the European motors at 1hp size are universal for 50Hz or 60Hz power supply, as long as you have 400V x 50Hz and 460V x 60Hz. This is because the voltage curve from 0V x 0Hz is much the same power line through 400 x 50Hz on its way to 460V x 60Hz, so the motor is still fluxed correctly.

What is the speed of 50Hz (60Hz) generator?

The electricity of single phase 110v, 120v, 220v, 240v, and three phase 380v, 400v, 415v, 440v, 460v, 480v AC power, are 50Hz or 60Hz frequencies. The speed of 50Hz (60Hz) 2 poles synchronous motor generator is 3000rpm (3600rpm).

How to convert 60hz to 50Hz without a transformer?

When you buy an 110v (120v) 60Hz appliance from USA, and run it on 220v (230v, 240v) 50Hz country (i.e. UK, Australia, Singapore), besides of a step up transformer, you may need a frequency converter to convert 60Hz to 50Hz. On the market you can buy the frequency converter up to 45kVA.

What is the frequency of a synchronous motor generator?

The electricity of single phase 110v, 120v, 220v, 240v, and three phase 380v, 400v, 415v, 440v, 460v, 480v AC power, are 50Hz or 60Hz frequencies. The speed of 50Hz (60Hz) 2 poles synchronous motor generator is 3000rpm (3600rpm). AC power frequency is determined by the pole number of the motor generator p and speed n, Hz = p*n/120.
