A control transformer marked 240V - 24Vac would have a control voltage of 24 volts.
There is (240 / 1344) = 179 milli volts per turn. The output voltage is 50 volts, so 50 / .179 = 280 turns on the secondary.
Since this transformer has a ratio of 1:2 the load current on the 480V side just has to be doubled. 85 x 2 = 170A on the primary. 40.8 KVA transformer. To prove this just find the KVA of both sides and they should be equal.
Ohms law says that watts are equal to volts times amps. 240v X 13.5a = 3240 va VA / 1000 = Kva So, your load requires 3.24 Kva. The transformer should have a rating greater than this as a safety factor, so you would choose the next larger size, in this case probably a 5 Kva transformer with a 480v primary and a 240v secondary. Your local electrical codes may require a larger safety factor, so you would want to consult them before buying the transformer!
240 / 12 = 20

get a step down transformer whose output is equal to the voltage of your bulb
With a transformer.
A control transformer marked 240V - 24Vac would have a control voltage of 24 volts.
No. The neon sign is fed by a step-up transformer. Primary side 120V, secondary side 7500V. If you applied 240 to the primary side you would get 15000 volts on the neon tube. A flash over and then nothing. If you can find a transformer from 120V to 240V or 240V to 120V then you are good to go. Connect 240V to 240V side and you will get 120V out the other, connect the 120V side to the neon sign and you should have light. Transformer should be at least 100va. This will give you an output of .83 amps at 120V
If a load were only 240 volt on a single phase 240v system with a center tapped transformer the neutral conductor would carry no current.
Yes, first find out how many volts you need on the output. For example, I'll go with 240V for a step up transformer. You would want to put some 10-14 guage wire on the secondary of the transformer, at around 240-250 turns on the transformer. If you can fit thicker wire, then it'll handle more current, but it may blow a fuse once you get such a big transformer.
A step down transformer has a higher voltage (in this case 240v) primary and a lower voltage (in this case 24v) secondary. A step up transformer has a lower voltage primary and higher voltage secondary. In reality the transformer doesn't care which is which, so if you wire the 24v side as the primary and the 240v side as the secondary, you have a step up transformer. You might want to stick a fan on it to be sure it doesn't overheat, but that's all you need do.AnswerFrom your question, it sounds as though you are describing a power supply, rather than a transformer, as you specify the output is 24-V d.c. (direct current). Unfortunately, you cannot apply 24-V d.c. to the output side of a power supply, in order to obtain a 240-V a.c. output at the input side! This is because a power supply consists of a transformer to step down the a.c. voltage, and a rectifier (and, possibly, a smoothing filter) to produce a d.c. output. Applying d.c. to the input of a rectifier will not produce the a.c. necessary to run your transformer in the opposite direction!
There is (240 / 1344) = 179 milli volts per turn. The output voltage is 50 volts, so 50 / .179 = 280 turns on the secondary.
If they are both using the same watt globes the 240v is slightly more efficient due to small losses in the transformer.
