[img] https://adjuntos.yoreparo.com/imagen_post/0004/12/47c9e4e6e06e06e06e06e06e06e06e06eb img] Hello good morning or good night as you read this ... I tell you I come in search of wisdom hahaha and I turn to those who know best ... I tell you what happens to me and my doubt. A couple of days ago I bought ML strips of rigid LEDs that come modular every 3 LEDs, attached photo to give you an idea. Along with that I ordered Transformers all of 12 volt but of different amperes, Pedi of 1A, 2A, 3, A, 4A and 5 A, all went in pairs. The issue is that I want to put several LED strips in my house and in my old woman's house in several places, (Kitchen, cupboards, library, etc ..) The problem or doubt arose when I opened the box of the 12 Volt and 4Amperes traffic. Apparently they were wrong of product or they read badly and they sent me a 12 volt traffic but instead of 4Amperes it is 40 Amps. The first thing I did was to verify the order and it was good I asked for 4A, but they sent me 40 Amperes ja, the question at the end of the day I need to get out of doubt, how many LED strips can I connect in that 12 volt 40 amps? I appreciate your wisdom for those who contribute.- Best regards to all and Thank you.- PD the Led strips are model 5730 by 10 meters (10 strips of 1 meter each come)

Hello a 4A traffic with a 40A one is not confusing ... I would say that it is impossible to make such a rude mistake since there is a huge difference in weight and volume in each Is it possible that it is 12V - 40 VA that equals 3.4.A .... or 40 W ??? comment

elektomaq Thank you for your input, and I agree with you it is impossible but step hahahaha the source is 12 Volt 40 amps and as described the screenprint of the font says 12Volt 40 amps and the source has up to a cooler and measures as 18 cm long by 15 wide so here we will see what is done

According to my experience, all these LED strips for not being a fortune teller do not know how much they consume but I doubt that it consumes more than 20 amp. so you would test the 40 amps, connect it with the 40s and measure with an ampere meter how much is the total consumption of the led plate and we will know how much it consumes and if you can put the others you have or only the of 40 amp. regards

Hi. Your question is if you can use the 40-amp traffic? There is no problem. Regards

servimat1 Thank you for your answer, basically the question is how many LED strips can I connect in that 12Volt 40 ampere traffic, remember that these strips are sectioned every one meter

I know them and I have them in use. Are they with aluminum base? Per linear meter should be consuming between 3 and 4 amps each. So you could place about 10 quietly.

servimat1 Thank you brother for your contribution, if they are those of Aluminum base and stabilized lol that cul ..... I also hahaha, and as you said consume the linear strip of 1 meter of Led 5730 rigid which is the one I have between 2 , 5 to 3.00 Amperes the importer told me, it is more he told me that they recommend for each led strip a 12 volt 2 Amp, eventually 3Amp, so with the source of 40 Amps I will connect 6 strips so that it works lightly and I'm a jewel ... Another servimat1 query that you already used that source, does not make it go on a wooden shelf, right?

Not at all. The important thing is not to enclose it since the cooler must evacuate all the internal heat from the source. Regards

Hello The ones I know of 12 volts 40 amps are stabilized in voltage, so you can connect 1 strip or 10, which will have in your case an approximate consumption of 10 amps in total. I am surprised that they were wrong in that way, since those sources are worth up to 1000 pesos each. In any case, the size of the 40-amp fonts is 5 cm x 10 cm x 20 cm, they cannot be confused by one of 4 A, which at most is 10 cm long x 5 cm wide.

nastor thank you for your response and as you say it is impossible, but step hahahaha the measures of the source is as described even have a cooler for ventilation is all aluminum outside and according to your experience and I interpret I can connect the 10 strips to that traffic or just 1 and the same will work without problems?

Hello, it's source is for 480 W, just add the power you have and you'll see that it is a lot and a lot. The source has several outputs to facilitate multiple connection, just respect the polarity and voila.
Those sources are stabilized, it means that regardless of the load, they deliver 12 continuous volts with very little variation, if you have doubts upload a photo with the data.

I see the photo, and looked for the features:
https://alexnld.com/product/s-480-12-12v-40a-480w-switching-power-supply/
It does not say that it is stabilized, but it should not have a dangerous range of output variation.
I don't think you have a problem connecting only one strip, you should still measure the output voltage at that time (for peace of mind)

nastor sorry for the delay in responding if it is stabilized hahaha that what .... mine !!!! hahaha so I already found out and the importer told me that per linear meter of these strips the consumption is 2.5 to 3 Amp so recommend sources of 12 volts of 2 amps or 12 volts 3 or 4 amps maximum.
So watching the panorama as I told another forero here I will connect only 6 strips at most 7 to not kill the source Thank you for the contribution brother

Cleo, if the consumption is 3 amperes per strip, and you have 10 strips are something of 30 amperes, I really do not understand why connect only six.

nastor colleague happens that where I will put the LED bars is a part of the kitchen, cabinets and little store and with 6 strips I am already left over if I put more it will look like a bowling alley hahahaha nothing more than that is why I will put 6 at most 7 and ready to save me quilombos with the traffics only this one.
