The purpose of a transformer is to transform one voltage to another voltage. This can be in the configuration of stepping up the voltage or stepping down the voltage . The load is what establishes what the current from the transformer is going to be.

Can you sub a 240 volt 1.5 amp transformer in place of a 240 volt 3 amp transformer?

If the load you are connecting to the transformer uses 1.5 amps or less, yes.


How many amps will a 0.25 kilo volt amp transformer at 120 volts put out?

2.083 amps


How many Amp does 300 watts generate?

It generates 25 Amps.


Will a 4.74 amp transformer fry a computer designed for a 3.42 amp transformer?

No because the current rating of the transformer is a maximum allowable current. If the computer still takes 3.42 amps it will be OK provided the new transformer supplies the correct voltage.


Can you use 3 amp wire on 0.022 amp transformer?

Yes, as long as the load attached to the wire does not exceed 0.022 amps.


What size of 12v transformer will run 600watts?

Amps * Volts = Watts Amps * 12 = 600 600/12 = Amps = 50 amps You would need a reserve capacity, so I'd go somewhere between 60 or 100 Amp rated transformer. Transformers are rated in volt-amps which is usually calculated the same as watts. But the term "watts" technically does not apply to transformers. So you need a 600 volt-amp transformer or, as Redbeard has suggested, you need an 800 or 1000 volt-amp transformer. That's a lot of amps for a 12 volt system so I recommend you double check your requirements. You will need a #2 gauge wire if your requirements are correct.


How do I make a 30 amp 250 volt line output only 220 volts at 30 amps?

How do you multiply current transformer output?

There are many ways but never can you multiply the power. <<>> A current transformer is specifically designed, by amp turns, to only output 5 amps. Meters that are connected to CT's have a full range deflection (scale) of 5 amps. To do what you are asking seems pointless as there are no meters with 10 amp full scale deflection.


How do you measure the volt ampere rating of a transformer?

Your transformer should have a namplate on it that states how many amps or fractions of amps it can produce. You would then multiply that number by your secondary voltage to get your VA rating. sec. voltage 12v X .05 amp = 12 X .05= .6va


Can you use 20 kva transformer in a home?

Yes you could use a 20 kva transformer in a home. Stymied as to why it would be done though. You would need at least a 100 amp service to the home to energize the transformer. Primary side of the transformer would draw 83 amps at 240 volts. If the question was to supply the home, again yes. It would be 100 amp service equipment that the transformer would feed into.


What is a tong amp meter?

A type of current transformer used as a metering device. You clamp the tong around a wire and it will tell you how many amps are flowing though it.


Why a 5amp. rating ammeter is connected to secondary side of current transformer?

The maximum current output of a CT is 5 amps. Connected to a meter this will be full scale. What ever the ratio of the CT will dictate the scale face on the meter. A 500 amp CT's output will be 5 amps at 500 amps on the buss. 250 amps on the buss, the CT will output 2.5 amp or half scale on the meter face.
