    Question How to check the correct current rating for a power cord?

    The cord can support 10A which is more than enough for what the power brick requires for charging (4.5A). I was just concerned that the power cord has a rating written of 125V then will it be able to handle 230V of wall power supply

    Question How to check the correct current rating for a power cord?

    Hello guys sorry to bother you again but actually I have a universal socket at my home which I was not even aware of. The power cord which came with the laptop can easily be inserted into that socket. My only concern is that on the power cord the ratings are written as 10 A 125V while the power...

    Question How to check the correct current rating for a power cord?

    So if I'm not wrong then is a laptop charger only concerned about the amount of power it takes and not about the voltage and current ratings individually. To give an example if I charge my laptop in US(110V) will the AC adapter demand more current out of the power cord as compared to if I...

    Question How to check the correct current rating for a power cord?

    The AC adapter or famously known as power brick is rated to take input from wall supply as follows: Voltage: 100-240V Current: ~4.5 A Power: 300W The power cord I got was a 10A 125V I was only concerned became 4.5 A is quite close to 6A and heating might become an issue. The hardware store guy...

    Question How to check the correct current rating for a power cord?

    So I recently purchased a laptop from US and it came with a 10A 125V power cord as expected. I actually live in India so I purchased a power cord which could support the Indian wall socket(240V) as compared to the 110V in US. I bought the power cord off a local hardware store but, the issue is...
