My car manual says, "This socket is intended to supply power for 12V DC acces. rated 120w or less (10 amps)." Will this work, and have everything I need?
1860676
No. The socket its rated and fused for 10 amps only. The Viair requires 19 amps. According to the lit, the car should be running when one uses the Viair. Also, it only comes with battery clamps, not a plug. Connect Viair to battery, start car, use Viair.

This Viair Unit is not for plugging into your dash. Its for attaching to the posts on your car battery. They do make a Unit for plugging in but its of less air capacity if you don't mind that.

Mine came with the plug for the car (12 volts). The adapter for the 120v outlet was sold separately. I am sure each one is different so make sure to read specs and what is included.

This product is for 12V DC, so it will work off your RV (or automobile) 12V system just as it is. If you want to power it from 120V AC, either a generator or the power grid, you will need to purchase a 12V DC power supply, sold separately.

It is rated at 15amps @ 120 volts. That would be a total of 15 amps for everything plugged into both sockets. One socket is x10 controlled and the other is like a normal socket-always on.

This unit does not have a power supply, You have to provide a 12 Vdc power supply it calls for a 2 watt supply which is .166 amps @ 12 Vdc so a 1/2 amp or greater 12 Vdc supply would work. The next part of your question 12 volts is the pressure of the voltage and current is the flow of the voltage. The switching contact are rated at 5 amps @220 volts AC Which is a lot, I would stay with the low voltage 12 Vdc on these contacts and use a 12 Vdc external relay ( any auto supply store ) with a diode across the coil, for the higher switching voltage if used. It is cheaper to replace a relay than it is to buy a new unit, if you burn out these contacts.

It will work with anything that is 12V DC as long as you don't exceed the rated amperage of the power supply.

I don't think it would be worth it for a vehicle since there is a battery there under the hood that you would use for power. However if you plan to put it to a 110 v outlet then you will need an adapter with a lower output. Check with the seller, but I think it is a 12volt output you will need from the adapter. Good luck. Do talk to an electrician first.

It will work with any standard automobile 12 volt outlet. I have never heard of a car without one. Gets respectably warm.

Gary, I'm not sure what your asking here. Could you be more specific? The solenoid (the two smaller screws) and the power connections (the two larger connectors) both operate on 12VDC. It doesn't matter how much current (amperage) you have available for the solenoid (as long as it's enough to operate it) as it will only draw the current it needs to operate. As far as the power switch goes, you can pull up to the rated 150 amps through it. It should last as long as it's designed to at up to 150 amps. More than that will likely shorten it's life. A lot more than that will probably burn it out instantly. Again, if you can be more specific, I'd be happy to help. Gary, I'm not sure what your asking here. Could you be more specific?

A wall plug to cigarette lighter plug or a Dc to AC adapter will work with low amperage. You should check you local radio shack. The last set i bought half of them didnt even work good luck

with 6amps at 12V it should work. Parallel it with your car battery if it doesn't work there is something wrong with your fan motor, If it does your 72 watt power supply is unable to deliver the power to the fan motor. PS - Your car does not have to be started for this test.

THe output of the EDO unit is 5V 1200mA output with the input voltage being between 12V~24V DC. I believe you are referring to your car charger being 12VDC as it plugs into the cigarette lighter and taking voltage from that sort and stepping it down to 5VDC. SO yes it should work.

It's a good standard power supply that will power pretty much anything that runs on 12 vdc. It's always a good rule to use a power supply that's rated at least double the current load connected to it. In your case you would have plenty of reserve power to run some other things at the same time.

All that I have ever used one of these for is 12V, if you are using it in an automobile or truck this is all that you would need. If you are using it in some other application where you need higher than 12V you would need to look for or specify that in the search field.

If your using one 12 volt car battery out of the car it won't supply that current for any useable amont of time even if the converter was capableof doing that, which it is not. It could maintain 800 watts continuous if the battery was in the car with the car running maybe even 900 watts,but that's it. As far as the connection to the battery I'll reserve the "duh" and say: positive to post marked +, negative to post marked -.

Hi Bryan,So your car does not have a cigarette lighter socket? Whoops! Unfortunately I am not familiar with what new cars have and have not with regards to a 12V DC output. The item that you have bought requires either a USB or a cigarette lighter type connector. I guess that I would ask your car guy if you have such an output connector in the car or can one be installed. I have not heard of this before. Good luck.r

I believe this should work for you. If you are using 120 volts, I don't see a problem.
