Does a 600 watt garden lights transformer pull 600 watts all the time or just the load from the lights you have on it?

Watts are power. If the lights were mostly or totally switched off, you'd have a circuit generating 600W of heat somewhere if the transformer still took 600W, not only that, but when you switched on, the 600W that the transformer was consuming, would not disappear, so the total drain would be 1.2kW. ---- Don't understand the above answer. The 600 watts on the transformer nameplate is the maximum amount of wattage that the transformer can produce and still be within its safety limits. It doesn't draw that wattage all the time. If you had two 50 watt lamps connected to the transformer then the transformer has the capacity of 500 watts left. The transformer will only produce the wattage that the load requests. The transformer has the ability to supply twelve 50 watt bulbs. 12 x 50 = 600. Any more bulbs than 12 and the transformer is in an overload condition.


How many watt transformer is needed for 2.5 amp motor?

Need to know the voltage of the motor and primary voltage of the transformer.


Can you use a 270 watt in a 300 watt transformer?

If you mean how to use a resistance of so much power then it can be easily done through a step-down transformer which lowers the voltage supply and hence the power.


I have ten 12 volt 10 watt lights what transformer do you need?

To power ten 12 volt 10 watt lights, you would need a transformer with a total output of at least 120 volts and 100 watts.


How can batteries with same voltge rated with Wh and mAh be compared?

watt = amp * volt watt hour capacity = amp hour capacity * voltage Calculate capacity in watt hour for the one which gives you mAh capacity with the following (dividing by 1000 to convert mA to A): Wh capacity = (mAh capacity / 1000 ) * voltage - Neeraj Sharma


If increase load of secondary side of transformer. why primary side current increases?

The wattage must remain equal on the primary and secondary sides of a transformer. An example to the above statement with a 1000 watt step down transformer. To fine the watts (load) the formula is W = A x V. The primary side of the transformer has the capacity of 1000 W = 4.16 Amps x 240 Volts. The secondary side of the transformer has the capacity of 1000 W = 8.3 Amps x 120 Volts. Using the transformer to its maximum, without overloading it, the primary will be 4.16 amps at 240 volts and the secondary will be 8.33 at 120 volts. As you can see the wattage (load) remains constant only the voltages and current change.


Can you hook up a 250 volt 2.5 amp plug to a 1500 watt transformer?

What has to be taken into account is what the primary and secondary voltages of the transformer are. The second thing to consider is whether the transformer is a step up or step down transformer. Just putting 250 volts on a transformer could burn the windings if the transformer is not the correct voltage.


If you used a 1500 watt hairdryer for 20 minutes how much would it cost you?

This would depend upon how much per kilowatt-hour that you power company charges you.


Where can you get a 5000 watt hairdryer?

Look for a professional styled hair dryer since they go to 5000-Watts. Commercial hair dryers tend to not exceed 2000-Watts.
