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.

What is your amp draw of a mr16 light with a transformer?

The amp draw of a MR16 light with a transformer can vary depending on the wattage of the light bulb and the efficiency of the transformer. Typically, a 50 watt MR16 halogen bulb with a transformer can draw around 0.42 amps. It is important to check the specifications of your specific MR16 light and transformer to determine the exact amp draw.


How many watt transformer is needed for 2.5 amp motor?

A 60-watt transformer would be sufficient for a 2.5 amp motor, as a general rule of thumb is to multiply the amps by the voltage to determine the power rating in watts. At standard household voltage (120 volts in North America), 2.5 amps x 120 volts = 300 watts. However, it's recommended to use a transformer with a slightly higher wattage to account for potential power surges or fluctuations.


Can you use a 30 amp disconnect switch for a 30 kva transformer?

Yes, a 30 amp disconnect switch can be used for a 30 kVA transformer. The 30 amp rating refers to the switch's capacity to safely handle 30 amps of current, which is sufficient for a 30 kVA transformer's load. Just make sure to follow the manufacturer's guidelines and electrical codes when selecting and installing the disconnect switch.


How many 25 amp bulbs fits 105 watt transformer?

Approximately 4 bulbs would fit a 105 watt transformer, as each 25-amp bulb consumes around 26.25 watts.


How many amp will a 280 watts panel generate?

A panel does not generate any current, the generating happens at the power plant. A 280 watt panel on a 120 v supply can supply up to 2.3 amps.

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

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.
