In order to appreciate this 'story,' I have to explain a few things. First, we live in a Recreational Vehicle (we are one of the many remnants of the many hurricanes that hit the state of Florida a few years ago, and due to economics alone, we have been unable to find a more suitable domain).
Along with this vehicle, we just purchased what is called a "macerator," which is somewhat of a pump to take care of the human waste in the collecting tank; from there, it is delivered directly to a sewer system that is also connected to a "bungalo" (spelling?); we live on a farm, which is owned by my wife's parents. But living in the "apartment" is out of the question because it has huge problems when it rains and, in fact, one or more of the hurricanes made the situation worse, which is why we are not living there.
To get back to the "macerator," it is a product that calls for 12 V DC, at 15 Amps. We were told by an electrician (and also a friend) that we needed a 12 Volt DC power source that would handle "at least" 25 Amps.
Now, here is the question: it states in the material that comes with the power source that it can handle anything that requires "no more than 25 Amps." Does this mean that, for example, if one were to hook up a device that requires only 15 or 20 Amps, would the "device" pull only what it needs -- or would 25 Amps be delivered to the device regardless?
Another way of address this question would be to ask -- will the power source be appropriate for "anything" that runs on 12 Volt, DC, as long as the "device" does not require more than 25 Amps?
I would "really" appreciate it if those who know about this topic would e-mail me directly at snipped-for-privacy@aol.com; otherwise, I will await an answer on this group.
I do appreciate any help!
