I have one switch mode power supply unit, input is 240 volts & output is 24 volts with 300 watts,i have an idea to use this vice vesa to input 24 volt & get 240 volts output for my small TV for outdoor activities. Can any members give some advice on this.thank you. Best Regards



Sorry, those devices don't work like that; just like you can't hook a microphone to the speaker output of a radio receiver and turn it into a transmitter. It won't work.

The power can go only one way through them.

If you hook 24v to the output, the best you can hope for is not to destroy the supply.

Worst case is you burn the supply *and* your house...

Thanks all for help in this topic, now i don't have to try & burn my pocket .

Sorry, It won't work that way. Tom

Hi Jasen.It is hard to find a TV set operate by DC 12 volts for 14".(I have one old 14" black & white picture from Philips). Since my idea won't work, i will buy a invertor for the TV.Thanks !

That would be very difficult. you'd need to replace most of the SMPSU.

if your small TV is so small it will operate off 12VDC (many small ones

- 14" an below will) you'd do better to go that way.

bye.

Does that mean that when I shout insults at Rush Limbaugh into my radio loudspeaker, he can't hear me?
