Can I use this to power my small air conditioner?

I do not know. First I would check "How many amps does your small a/c pull?" - then check with the manufacturer, Belkin for specs before trying that. Doing this could be tricky with a multiple outlet. Am not qualified to answer this question.

I don't know, but if you go to http://www.belkin.com/us/contactus/support/, they have a 24 hour live chat. The model of surge protector is BE107200-12. Make sure you have the specs (amps) for your small a/c unit, and ask them if this Belkin product would work for you.

I believe you can. I bought it as a stable spike protector for my laptop computer. It is very sturdy and I haven't had anymore problems with the hard drives failing in my laptop after using this outlet. Before, blew two hard drives with different cheap outlet. Be sure and check with the manufacturer to make certain it can handle amperage on your A/C unit. You can go to their website online.

Sure--- as long as what you are trying to power needs 5volts and takes no more than 2 amps, it should work.

Presumably so. I use mine to power an HK Quattro. The cooling fan rarely needs to run - just in hot weather. I have been very pleased with this power supply.

My impression is that NO, this is a power source. It is used when one has a DC powered appliance and wants to use the appliance with AC power.

No way, Air Conditioners are the most energy demanding home appliance. To run even that small AC unit you need at least 1500 watts inverter doe to high starting power required, and you also need a huge 1200 Amp deep cycle battery bank, not your car battery and many solar panels to charge your batteries.

You can, but you would need a AC to DC power converter and a 3 pin fan connector to plug into the GRID.

I'm not sure I'd try it. It's recommended to have a converter 2-3 times greater than the watts of the appliance you have.

I honestly don't know this answer, but I do not think it is powerful enough to feed an ac, more like a few fans.

We use it with a Dehumidifier and works fine; so if your Air Conditioner is rated for 15A outlets; and it can turn on when plugged in (Some units with digital controls remain off; others return to its last state). Also note some units keep the fan on after the compressor was shut off. If none of this is an issue for you; then it should work.

Sorry don't know the answer to your question... I am only using it for our A/C.

I would guess not. It is a switched mode power supply (which is why it is so small). The way it works is to rectify the ac input and then chop it at a very high frequency, it is then converted to 12 volts. As the manufacturers know it is designed for a light bulb they have no reason to clean the waveform. It is probably a horrid nasty square wave with a root mean square of 12 volts +/- a few volts. By the way hese devices need a load to start them, you cannot simply connect a voltmeter across then and plug them in. Dave

Probably not. If your airconditioner is 24,000 BTU you probably need a 240V (aka "220V") outlet with a NEMA 6-20R. I'm guessing the unit must be 24,000 BTU and not 2,400. An air conditioner with only 2,400 BTU would be a very small and inefficient unit with a regular 120V ("aka "110V") plug. That said, a 24,000 BTU unit is too big to run off a regular 115V outlet. It probably needs 240V.

I don't see why not; keeping in mind, of course, that you get a larger power draw from an outlet, and a very small appliance like this one might overload more easily.

Yes but unit is not powerd you'll need an amplifer or thy make one that has amp built in

This unit requires a power source. I would not purchase it. I have found better that would work for your application.

I can confirm CoralHind's answer. I use it with a generator and portable A/C in my van. The A/C unit would not work without it because my generator frequency was not stable.
