No; drawing more than the rated amperage from a transformer will cause it to overheat.

Can you run a 3200 watt oven on a 20 amp breaker?

a 220 volt, 3200 watt oven will draw under 15 amps, so yes a 2o amp breaker will work.


What size wire for 75 feet of wire for a 30 amp 220 volt oven?

A 30 amp breaker run 75 feet would require you use AWG #10 wire. But, an oven normally pulls more that 30 amps and I would not use #10 wire on a 30 amp breaker for an oven. Normally any newer oven is wired with AWG #6 gauge wire on a 50 amp circuit breaker so the breaker will not trip during heavy use of the oven. Some older ovens could use a #8 wire on a 40 amp breaker.


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.


If two output tubes are run in parallel and the primary impedance of the audio transformer is cut in half will a single-ended amp yield twice the output?

Yes it can if it's connected in a push pull reconfiguration

How many 120 volt 7 amp draw lights can be run on a 15 kva single phase transformer?

To determine how many 120-volt, 7-amp lights can be run on a 15 kVA transformer, first convert the transformer capacity to watts: 15 kVA equals 15,000 watts. Each light draws 120 volts * 7 amps = 840 watts. Dividing the transformer capacity by the wattage of each light gives 15,000 watts / 840 watts per light ≈ 17.86. Therefore, you can run a maximum of 17 lights on a 15 kVA transformer.

Will a single phase 32 amp distro run 10kw?

The short answer is no. The long answer is no, not if you are using standard 100-120 volt or 220-240volts found in most (all?) countries The following is a simplified best case scenario, which incorrectly assumes a power factor of 1. Power = Volts * Amps Watts = Volts * AMPS (Actually VA = Volts * Amps, but VA=Watts in best case scenario) but 10kw > 240 * 32. David


What transformer do you need to run a 12volt 8amperage bilge pump?

To run a 12-volt bilge pump with an 8-amp draw, you need a transformer that outputs 12 volts and can handle at least 8 amps of current. It's advisable to choose a transformer with a slightly higher current rating for safety and efficiency, so a transformer rated for 12 volts and at least 10 amps would be suitable. Additionally, ensure the transformer is designed for continuous use to match the operational needs of the bilge pump.


Which wire is used to install a double oven and a stove?

Normally older ovens required a AWG #8 wire on a 40 amp breaker. On a modern double oven I would recommend you install AWG #6 on a 50 amp breaker. That way you are safe and will not have to worry about the breaker tripping. It will cost a little more but is worth it in the long run.

Can you run a car amp output into another car amp?

I have, I have even used the output for the input of the same amp, so that you only run one RCA cable to the amp, then run the output back to the other input, and it runs 4 channels.. :o)
