There are NO watts in 600 Volts. Voltage represents a potential to do something. Watts is a measure of power. They are related as follows:
Watts = Volts x Amps x Power Factor
Volts is potential, amps represents current flow from the potential and the Power Factor represents how the current and voltage waveforms are in synchronization or not. Therefore, to know watts you need to know something other than just the voltage. The good news is that the Power Factor is one for a resistive load like a light bulb.

To calculate the power in watts, you also need to know the current (in amperes) flowing through the circuit. Without knowing the current, you cannot determine the power in watts based solely on voltage (600 volts).
I think you mean 600 MV.A (megavolt amperes). A lower-case 'm' stands for 'milli' -and that makes a heck of a difference to the rating of your transformer! Furthermore, the symbols for volt and ampere are upper case, not lower case.
The answer is that there is no answer. The MV.A rating tells us nothing about its voltage ratings. That information you will have to find from the transformer's nameplate data.
Incidentally, there are two rated voltages: a primary and a secondary.
To calculate the amperage, use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. In this case, 0.8 megawatts is equal to 800,000 watts. So, Amps = 800,000 watts / 600 volts, which equals approximately 1333.33 amps.
A transformer does not use, it transforms voltage from one value to another. The output amperage is governed by the connected load. If the load wattage is higher than the wattage rating of the transformer then either the primary or secondary fuse will blow or the transformer will burn up if the fusing is of the wrong sizing. The maximum primary amperage can be found by using the following equation, Amps = Watts/Volts, A = W/E = 600/120 = 5 amps. The same equation is used for the calculating the maximum secondary amperage, A = W/E = 600/12 = 50 amps.
If you are using a 120V power supply, a 600 watt floodlight will draw 5 amps of current (600 watts ÷ 120 volts = 5 amps). Remember to always check the specific electrical requirements of your floodlight to ensure the correct amperage.
To find the amperage, use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. In this case, 600 Watts / 115 Volts = approximately 5.22 Amps. So, the microwave oven requires approximately 5.22 Amps of current.
41.666 amps. Divide watts by volts.
