    How do I use a car CD player at home with an adapter?
    Community Answer
    Go on Amazon and order a 12V DC 2Amp power supply. Then clip tip or female plug off the rand and separate the wires. Run a voltage test to identify your ground. Connect the black wire from the back of your stereo to the ground. Then take the red and yellow wires from the back of your stereo and connect them both the with the positive or hot wire from your adapter. Use heat shrinks to cover and separate wires.

    How do I get 2000v dc from a circuit?
    Community Answer
    You can change the transformator input 220v output 2000v, but you also must change the diode 2000v or higher. If not the diode will be burned.

    What does a rectifier do?
    Community Answer
    A rectifier only allows an input of AC current to travel in one direction, giving you an output current in DC.

  • Question
    Will my final output voltage be lower once it is run through the diodes, capacitor and voltage regulator than it was at the secondary winding of the transformer?
    Community Answer
    If your transformer is a step-up transformer, the output voltage should be higher. It depends on the diodes, capacitor and voltage regulator.

  • Question
    How can I convert 120 volt 20amp AC to 60 volt 20amp DC without a transformer?
    Community Answer
    To convert AC into DC you need a rectifier. A rectifier contains a transformer. Without a transformer, a rectifier cant work.
