powering a peltier question

InfamousHindu · May 4, 2003

I bought a 226 Watt peltier from danger den. It requires 24 amps, and i was wondering if i hooked it up to my 5V line which supplies max of 40amps, would the peltier still run. I know that it would only be pushing out 132watts(have a 480 Watt PSU with a max load handling at 550 Watts), but how much less efficienct will it be.

At 5 volts you will have a 75 watt pelt...

InfamousHindu,

Why are you posting the same question twice?

I answered your question (and provided technical literature to backup my answer) here.

Where does it say "new member"?

Anyway we don't like cross posting (I'm not even sure if it's allowed).

off with his head!!!!!

i have run a 226w on the 5v rail, but that was w/out a load. 75watts is about all the heat the tec can handle at 5v. inshort 5v will not work. need atleast 10v
