The amperage rating of the transformer in a 12V power supply cannot be changed. The size of the copper windings determine the power load (amps) it can handle and the point where the lead is tapped off of the windings determine the voltage. The only way to increase the amperage would be to tap closer to the core which would lower the voltage.
If you need more amps you have to have a heavier transformer.

What is a amp hour?

It is one amp current used over one hour. A ten amp hour battery can supply 1/2 an amp for 20 hours, 1 amp for 10 hours, etc.


Why are there two 15 amp breakers connected to your 30 amp breaker?

Answer for UK, Europe and countries running a 50 Hz supply service.It is acceptable to connect two 15-amp breakers to a 30-amp supply. It woud also be acceptable in some applications to connect three 15-amp breakers if it were known that the total current would not exceed 30 amps. For example in many UK properties there is a 60-amp supply, and connected to this there are two 30-amp supplies for the ring-circuit and the cooker, plus also a 10-amp lighting supply.


How are fuses measured?

In how many amps of current before blowing out. 2 amp 5 amp 10 amp 15 amp etc.


How far can you run 120 volts?

You need to check the currents in amps that each appliance takes, and the current in amps that the supply can supply. The divide one by the other and there is the answer. Going by the power instead, a 120 v 10 amp supply can give 1200 watts.


110v and the current is 10 a what is the resistance?

Resistance is Volts over Current 11 Ohm = 110Volt / 10 Amp


Which Is more powerful 10 amp or 12 amp in Electricity?

The 12 Amp fuse will take a larger current before it blows (or trips) - than a 10 Amp one.


What size wire do you use to install a 40 amp breaker for a 2amp pool pump?

I think you mean 2 HP pump. I am assuming a 220 To 240 volt supply and that should equate to about a 12 amp current. All my pumps use only a 30 amp breaker and 10 AWG wire.


Can you run a 15 amp mig welder on 10 amps?

Not successfully. It is designed to work with the higher current so it would blow the breaker on a 10 amp circuit.


How many amp passes thou 10 amp fuse?

A fuse is a safety device which is designed to blow (fuse) if a larger current than it is rated for passes through it. So a 10 amp fuse can pass anything up to 10 amps.


How many millawatts is in a amp?

A micro-amp is a measure of current. Power in Watts is a function of the current and voltage. Impossible to answer your question without knowing the voltage. For example, 1 uA (micro-amp) x 10 Volts = 10 micro-Watts, but 1uA x 1,000.000 Volts = 1Watt.


What will happen if you replace a 10 amp fuse with a 15 amp fuse?

You risk too much current flow in the circuit. Overloading the wiring can cause a fire.


What is the power of a ciruit with 10 ohmns 10 volts and 2 amps?

Well, first of all, if the resistance of the circuit is 10 ohms and you connect 10 volts to it,then the current is 1 Amp, not 2 . So either there's something else in your circuit thatyou're not telling us about, or else the circuit simply doesn't exist.-- If you connect some voltage to some resistance, then the resistance heats up anddissipates (voltage)2/resistancewatts of power, and the power supply has to supply it.-- If there is some current flowing through some resistance, then the resistance heats up anddissipates (current)2 x (resistance)watts of power, and the power supply has to supply it.-- If there's a circuit with some voltage connected to it and some current flowingthrough it, then the resistance of the circuit is (voltage)/(current) ohms, the partsin the circuit heat up and dissipate (voltage) x (current) watts of power, andthe power supply has to supply it.There's no such thing as "the power of a circuit". The power supply supplies thecircuit with some amount of power, the circuit either dissipates or radiates someamount of power, and the two amounts are equal.
