Voltage question: 230V component + 250V power cord.
Will it work together? The component says its 230V and the power cord says its 250V. Is it safe to combine the two for my pc? I just got it back and im worried of fried components. I got it from the shop that repaired and replaced the components, but never got any info about this from the shop. Can anybody help me?

The listing on the power cord usually states maximum recommended voltage. If your component uses less than that then you are good. You may run into problems if the opposite is the case or if your power receptacle is putting out voltage exceeding the rating of the cord.

Alright, thank you so much! :47_thumb_up:
You're welcome!
The cables for computers are usually made based on norms.
And power supplies come with their cables.

Voltage is nothing that gets drawn or used ("asked"). Voltage is present. Your cable or device better fit to it, or bad things happen.

So they need to fit to the voltage,
but also the cables or adapters need to fit to the power that is drawn by the device. This is reflected by the ampere number.
1 ampere is when you draw as much watt as there is volt, and this is based on the outlet the device is directly connected to (if its connected to an adapter, the adapter output voltage is the base).
230 watt at 230 volt = 1 ampere.
5 watt at 5 volt = 1 ampere too
10 watt at 5 volt = 2 ampere
