Chord Hugo power supply help

RHL that is exactly what i need.  If its easier to just send a photo, please do.  Thanks, Emery  emfoods at yahoo .com

I sent you the photo.  Hopefully it matches yours.

Yes, you could use a 100A supply on the device and the Chord would be safe. Let me help you understand why.

Your math is right, but you miss that current (I or A) is dependent on V and R. It's not the other way around.

We can induce the R based on the device rating. The device is rated at 0.5 Amps, that means the maximum current will be 0.5, in reality it will vary, but lets assume max.

R = 12 / 0.5 = 24
So we can assume the minimum R will be 24. So ....

I = 12 / 24 = 0.5
Having a power supply capable of 1,000 A still doesn't change the equation. The current will depend on V and R.

So, if you can't change R (the device) the only way to increase I is to increase the V. So, if you attached a 24V supply, THEN you'd have too much current and risk the device.

Hope this helps,

Hugo supply’s printed output 12V .6A  7.2W maximum.  This is directly from the device.

RHL bailed me out.  I had 4 but the original one doesnt say Chord on it   he sent me a picture.  Im all set now.  Thanks Everyone.
