FabDJ Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Just a questionWhen I disconnect the PC from the transformer is it still drawing current from the mains? I usually switch it off but noticed if it is left on, the transformer is cold to touch, so maby it is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FabDJ Posted August 16, 2010 Author Share Posted August 16, 2010 Yes the power supply that brings the current down to 13volts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatLeSS Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Yessir, it certainly will - You're talking for a laptop?Note if yours has an LED that'll be drawing power too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lloydc Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Yes the power supply that brings the current down to 13volts.FYI - current is measured in amps.I'm assuming you're talking about a laptop charger?Basically the answer is yes... it will still draw power from the mains, as there will still be some (very small amount) load, but no where near as much as when it's plugged in.load = resistance = heat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
