Will these power supplies work?

[dcforester1]

I just had on of my MP40 power supplies die. I need to order a new one but would either of these work in the mean time? I don't know if this is the right forum?

TIA

Sorry I made it with my cellphone and I thought you could read the first one says out put 15.6V 5A

the second says 19V 3.2A

Sorry about that

the MP40 requires 24V so no they probably will not work.

MP40 are powered by 24v DC and need at least 35-40w output (gives some headroom over the ~28w that it uses).

Either one would work but the pump wouldn't run at full power. It would definitely void any warranty so use it at your own risk. (the pumps run on 12v when on battery back up after all)

Thank you The one I want to use it on is very old, so the flow would be more impotent than the warranty. I plugged one in for a second and it did come one so I guess I will try and see what happens thank you

You need to find one that the plug, output voltage and amperage matches. Too big and you'll fry your pump, too little and it either will not move or over time you will fry your pump.

An oversized power supply won't hurt any device that pulls less current than it can supply so long as the correct voltage is used. IE, I have a 54v 5.9A (320 watt) power supply running my LED array, but I can power only my fans, around 12 watts worth, from it no problem because it is isn't forcing any amount of power out.
