Can this unit run on house current? Is an AC adapter available?

The compressor is designed to run on 12-volt DC and comes with clamps to attach to a standard 12-volt battery. It works very well, but I don't think you could operate it with a reasonable sized transformer. I suspect the amp load is fairly high. Hope this helps.

You would need a 'Tripp Lite PR30 30-Amp DC Power Supply 120VAC Input to 13.8VDC Output' or something comparable to it to be able to run this unit from 120v AC house current. You'd be looking at spending another $200 or thereabouts. You'd be better off buying a small 120vAC powered air compressor instead, like a pancake compressor that go for $100 or thereabouts, that would greatly outperform this unit which was made to be used with a running motor 12v system.

This unit is 12 volt DC only. Viar doesn't have an AC adapter available according to their web site. Hope this helps.

No, this unit operates on 12 volt DC power from your car or truck battery. I do not believe it works on 120 AC.

I've powered this unit on standard 110v household current, just have to attach the leads from a plug to the inputs. I recommend putting a ground into your overall circuit design as wll

it is battery operated only but I have seen adaptors which can plug into the 9 volt battery plugs. that would mean you can only use it in or very near your home.

no it can't but you can plug the power cord in to it all of the breakers need to be flipped in the off position you then you can run some of it like outlets refrigerator or one a/c by it self.the a/c will run for 45 min. on 4 250 AH batters that it then it off.

The ac adapter is for 110V However, the unit comes with the house adapter and a USB cable so you can also charge the unit from you laptop or computer thank you

Yes, you can. According to the manual specifications: Electrical ratings AC input 100-127V ~5.0A max or 200-240V ~3.0A max, 50/60Hz

Yes there is an AC adapter with the unit. I believe the output is 500ma/ port.Do not know the requirement for Raspberry PI computer board. Other comments indicate it is usable.I use it as a port for my wireless mouse w/o any power other than Dell 660 usb port.

Any 110V outlet would do. Here is their website you can contact them for further questions: http://hometechind.com/contact.html

Runs on standard 115V household current. I have two, and haven't noticed a difference in my monthly bill since I got them.

This model cannot use AC Power. There is another model that is nearly identical that can but it's nearly twice as expensive.

Hi Keri, no it does not have an AC adapter for home, nor did I notice any place to connect one. It has no on/off switch, so after using it once (and forgetting to unplug it) and burning out my car battery, I never used it again.

It's a 110 volt system, regular house current, you know wall outlet. Are you in the US?

no you need to buy an ac/dc converterif you`re going to use it in the house..

Yes. We had no problem with using regular house hold current. Just plug it into wall socket and have it. It will rumble your butt off!

It is a desktop unit that runs on home 120v 60 plug. It does not operate on an adapter.

It has a 120VAC to 12VDC adapter that is rated at 100MA but I just sold my last unit so I can't run a current check for you.

Not as far as I know. I ran mine all summer while it was plugged into a standard household outlet shared with a lamp, an alarm clock, and a digital phone auxiliary charger. I am using a heavy duty extension cord to connect from the outlet to the A/c cord. BTW-on case you are interested, we did have a cooler summer than last but still my electric bill over the summer was about $100 less than 2013.
