Hi all,
Just trying to figure out things.
I have a buck-boost converter that takes 12V input from a power supply and outputs 1-30V adjustable, and 5Amps maximum. It has two potentiometers: one to adjust output voltage and one for output current.
I know that if I put a load on output, e.g a common light bulb that draws 1Amp at 12Volts, changing output voltage will dim the light.
What are the effects of changing output current? If I adjust the buck-boost for 12V and 0.5 Amps output, will it be damaged if I connect the 12V/1Amp light bulb?
Maybe sounds like a stupid question - I only ask cause I know that if I was to connect a 12V/0.5A battery to the bulb, that would damage the battery...
