English term or phrase: AC adapter
I glossaryet som fulgte med apparatet håndboken gjelder for, kalles dette for "likestrømsadapter", men er det ikke like greit med bare strømadapter? Eller batterieliminator? Er det noen som vet dette sikkert?

vekselstrømadapter
Explanation:
En liten variant her, men ser også at kun "omformer" brukes for å beskrive dette, selv om det kanskje blir knapt.

Kanskje ikke en variant siden det sto i din ordliste...men uansett kan \"omformer\" være et alternativ.

ac adapter
vekselstrømsomformer


Explanation:
Denne omformeren vil typisk omforme vekselstrømmen fra et vegguttak (220V/50Hz) til likestrøm for f.eks. en bærbar PC (19V likestrøm for nyere Toshiba-modeller). Benevnelsen hentes ut fra hva den omformer, ikke hva den omformer til.

ac adapter
220V-adapter


Explanation:
Altså, egentlig burde den hete "AC/DC adapter", for det er DET den gjør - (omdanner vekselstrøm/nettspenning/220V til en lavspent likespenning som apparatet kan bruke for sin interne drift). Disse kaltes nok batterieliminator da de kom i handelen for 3-40 år siden, men i dag kalles de gjerne (ett-eller-annet)-adapter. Jeg ville ha satset på "220V-adapter" eller "nettspenningsadapter". Helst ikke noe med "strøm", for det er hovedsakelig spenningen som det gjøres noe med...

  -> Nudah? Husker vi Ohms lov? Hvordan tilpasser du STRØMMEN med en adapter? :) Joda, selvfølgelig KALLES det strøm, men det er nå likevel spenningen det dreier seg om. Likerettingen er én ting, men hovedformålet med en slik adapter er å lage en lavspenning.
neutral  Tore Bjerkek: husk at mange adaptere kan brukes både med 110 og 220 V nett.

  -> Ja, men i Norge bruker vi faktisk 220V :)
