Hi, I have a device that requires 12vac but need to use 12vdc as a
source. Is this possible? I see all kinds of 12vdc inverters around but
they all provide 120\240 vac
Been looking high and low and can't find a power supply or inverter on
the market that will do what i'm looking for. Starting to think its not
possible. I guess something like a variac off the power inverter might
drop the voltage down from 120vac to 12vac but thought there must be
some other way. Also tried looking for a "variable" dc to ac inverter
but they dont seem to exist either. I need under 1 amp on the 12vac.
thanks

What kind of device is it? It may well have an internal rectifer and
you could simply tap in with DC after that point?
