What is the power requirements looking for amp or wattage draw. Also is anyone using with an DC to AC converter if so what is its power output?

if you go to curtis international ltd and put in part number PLEDV2488 you will find out that it has a consumption of 48 watts you can read the PDF files on it however it is a curtis made for proscan which used to be RCA high end eqpmt. also if you order i have the 19 inch both with and without the dvd for my pool the one with the dvd player the 19 inch one the power plug they give you is 110 in 12 volt dc out just cut the cord i have put many in boats vans etc but i would say a small 600 watt one that can be plugged into the cigarette lighter something bigger you will need to run battery lines the the main battery of the car hope i was a help fine me on F.B. sound video llc port saint lucie fl.

In the specifications it lists the power requirements:* Input Voltage: 12VDC Power (max): 24W. This means you need a DC power supply that provides a maximum of 12 Volts DC and 24watts of power minimum. Several power supplies can be found on Amazon. So a 12 VDC, 25-30 watt power supply will work just fine.

No power supply provided. It requires a 120V AC to 12 V DC transformer / driver. You will need to figure the amount of amperage required based on the number of running feet in order to purchase the correct transformer / driver for your particular application.

it requires a DC power source. If you want to use AC power you will have to convert it to DC.

Hi Roy, the converter is rated for 5000W continuous. So, to answer your question if you plug in a device that requires 5000W then that is what the converter will draw for power. However, if you plug in a device that requires 1000W then the converter will draw 1000W of power.

You can just plug it in, the converter will only use what it can, I use this with 9V 3A to convert to 5V, the max current draw I measured is ~ 1.9A.

Hang on while I go look. There is a tag on the bottom that states 120V A. C., 60 Hz., 1.5 A. I would have guessed it would have a higher amperage need. Additionally, there is no mention of voltage or amperage requirements in the Owner's Guide.

I think the question was... will this unit use 44 watts of power no matter the load? ie... will this unit still consume 44 wats if you only have a 5 watt load...My best guess is it will only use what it delivers to the load plus some wasted power in the 120 to 12 volt conversion process as there are no 100% efficient methods of conversion.

I do not use it this way. I only use it in my house with the provided AC to DC converter. Per information on the unit, the power required is 12 volt DC at approximately 1 amp .

the recommendation is to have a much stronger converter from the device you 're using. Other people say you need twice as strong. You should probably look into spending a little more and get a 2500 or 3000 watts.

According to the manufacturers documentation, minimum 600W power supply (with a minimum 12V current rating of 42A). Just search for the model number.

Prior to answering, I carefully reread the instructions. No where is this question answered or addressed. I simply don't know. Technical info from instructions:" Power requirements: DC Adapter: 9vcd, 500 mA. Sorry!

It is a 50 amp supply and will provide that at 12 volts continually. Your amp needs 120 amps. Oh those specs imply big external capacitors to deliver 5000 watts. It can only take in 1440 watts (120 amps x 12 volts) and they don't create power.

The short explanation is that it can only put out about 150 watts. Wattage is equal to voltage multiplied by amperage. With that equation you should be able to figure out the maximum amperage and as stated by James Peterson the current will vary based on the load. If your calculations show that you will not be able to provide enough current then i suggest multiple converters wired in parallel.

Output is 5V, 4A 20W max. It's a 2 prong plug with one prong wider than the other attached directly to the ACDC converter box, so be sure to have plenty of room on your power strip for it.

could you please check and tell me what's the rating for the external DC supply ? Vdc ? and current rating (mA)?appreciate your help.thx

The output is indeed 12 volts, but the label on the power adapter states 12v AC. I've never before seen a power converter that put out alternating current. I suppose this this could be a misprint on the label, but I can't say for sure. It is clearly marked Input 120v AC, Output 12v AC. I double checked. It could be that alternating current is necessary for this type of device.
