There is insufficient information in the question to answer it. You need some other information, such as voltage to current phase angle, inductance, capacitance, or watts. Please restate the question.
A control transformer marked 240V - 24Vac would have a control voltage of 24 volts.
Rated power factor
A wattmeter reads the true power of a load, regardless of its power factor.
Power factor is defined as the ratio of real power over total power. Total power is the vector sum of real and reactive power.
The power factor depends on the properties of the load, and if any power factor correction is done it has to happen at the load, so that the current in the transmission lines is reduced. Correcting the power factor at the sending end fails to address the problem.
yes it is compatible to use 24VAC to 24V supply
It is 40 volt-amps, which is 40 volts at 1 amp, or 10 volts at 4 amps, etc. On an AC supply it could be equal also to 40 watts, or some lesser number of watts depending on the power factor of the load.
40 VA is the apparent power of the load. It is simply the applied voltage multiplied by the resulting current in amperes. Given the VA and the Volts merely divide the VA by the volts to get I=VA/A = 40VA/24V= 1.667 Amperes rms. Andy B
24 volts of alternating current
A control transformer marked 240V - 24Vac would have a control voltage of 24 volts.

power factor means kw/kva
Output Power divided by Power Factor.
On the 24vac side, this would include any load attached or powered by the transformer. A wire than has gone to ground (shorted), or rubbed into the ductwork (stat wire). The transformer will be rated at xxva, meaning volts X amps aka(watts). Most residential equip. will have a 40va fitted. 40 / 24= 1.66 amps. Any load in excess of this should cause a failure. If you are trying to fix this yourself, put a 2amp automotive fuse in series with one of the 24vac "out" leads and go one by one, isolating the gas valve, wiring to the thermostat, etc, till the fuse quits blowing. Otherwise, call a tech. lc
There is no disadvantage of unity power factor, because at unity power factor all the electrical power is efficiently utilized by the the load, and at lagging power factor some power is lost in the load's magneticfield.
When looking at power factor, it is the ratio of watts (true power) to VA. The power factor is how we measure power systems. A person with a low power factor like .26 will have a higher electricity bill.
There is no significance to a power factor of 0.82.
