I need two electrical items and not sure where is a good place to find them:

1. 120volt outlet timer that can handle 1500 watts. Timer is for distiller so it will run only at night.

2. a AC 120v to DC converter that outputs 120 watts. The distiller has a pump unit that needs to run 24/7, it's rated input is 120v, 1 amp, 120watts.

There has to be some online electrical store that sells these devices?

Thanks!

For your timer, you can use an Intermatic mechanical timer. You would need to hard wire it by feeding it from a circuit and then wiring a receptacle from the load side of the timer. It's pretty easy to do.

Thanks.

I was able to find the timer fairly easy. The customizable 120watt output converter is a little more tricky, any ideas?

Can I get any generic converter that converts 120vac to 120watt output?

If you google "120 volt dc power supply" many sources will come up.

Electrical question

Electrical question:

My device is rated as: 120v 1amp 120 watts

Can I use something rated at 24v 8 amps 120 watts?

Does the volt/amp ratio matter when the final watt output is the same?

Specifications:
Input:100/240 Volts AC 50-60 Hz
Output: Adjustable 15V to 24V
Max Load: 120W (8 Amp)

What is this "device"? The vast majority of electrical devices require a specified voltage, and will draw whatever current is necessary for their operation. Thus, they are constant-voltage loads. A small minority of electrical devices are not, and they may be constant-current or even constant-power loads, or some combination thereof. To really answer your question, we have to know exactly what this thing is and what the exact specifications are.

Its a shurflo fresh water pump. The outside of the casing says 120v 1amp 120watt.

The model number specified says:

Name : SHURflo® Classic™ Pump
Model Numbers OEM/Aftermarket : 2088-422-144, 2088-422-444
Voltage : 12 VDC

I think I am making this more complicated than it needs to be. The pump is rated at 115v. 1amp.

I was told by the manufacturer I should be able to just plug it directly into a wall outlet and it will work fine.

Then it is an AC motor not a DC motor. If that is true then yes just plug it in.
