Ring doorbell 3 plus power-AC or DC
Hi, I am looking to wire ring doorbell 3 plus with wired installation replacing existing doorbell. On install page it says the transformer needs to be 8 to 24VAC and apparently 40VA.Ring also sells power supply adapter which are DC output voltage and much lower than 40VA.1. Does doorbell work with both AC and DC or What am I missing here?...2. I have a setup with separate transformer and chime. Instructions say to simply replace existing doorbell with Ring without any mention of chime having to be compataible. I know Ring also publish a chime compatibility list. When wired to a trafaformer, does Ring work with any mechanical chime? Ta

Hi @Lat321. The Ring Video Doorbell 3 Plus will work with our [Ring Plug-In Adapter](https://ring.com/collections/accessories/products/video-doorbell-plugin-adapter-gen-2) or a [transformer](https://ring.com/collections/accessories/products/hardwired-transformer) that supports 16 VAC with at least 30 VA. Most mechanical chimes are compatible, however, you can find a list of compatible chime kits [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/209028546-Ring-Video-Doorbell-Pro-Chime-Kit-Compatibility-List). I hope this information helps!
