Best Answer

If the transformer uses 5 watts per hour you need to know what you are paying per 1000 watts from your power company. If you pay lets say $3.00 for 1000 watts then when your transformer burns 1000 watts it cost you $3.00 your cost will be $3.00 for 200 hours run time.

How much does it cost to run a 75 watt CFL bulb?

the rule is.... run 100 watts 24/7 for 100.00/year. Your cfl will cost apx.75/year. However, while your cfl only uses 75 watts it is equivalent to apx 350 watts and produces a broad variety of colors in the spectrum making it great for growing!

Is it dangerous to run an appliance with more watts than the transformer?

A transformer has a rating that is usually expressed in KVA. This is approximately a wattage rating. It is not dangerous but it can be the cause of some concern. An appliance has a set current that is draws. This current times the voltage is the appliance's wattage. The same goes for the transformer. It only has a certain capacity to supply a specific current that is governed by its KVA (watts). Driving the transformer beyond its rated capacity tends to heat the transformer beyond its working temperature. If left in this over current draw the transformer's windings insulation will break down and the windings will short circuit. This is usually the end of a working transformer. So short answer, more watts (amps) from appliance equals burned out transformer.

It depends on the type of system that is used to heat the incubator. State the heating element size in watts or give the volts and amperage of the unit.


Can you run a 1500w power tool on a 3kvA 240W to 110W step down transformer?

I think you mean a 240 V to 110 V (volts, not watts) transformer! Providing your power tool is rated at 110 V, the answer is yes, because its power rating of 1500 W is well within the capacity of a 3-kV.A transformer.


Can a 5.8 ampere 110V run on a step up step down 300 W transformer?

No because the load is 638 VA which is too much for the transformer.
