Will 24VAC be compatible with a 24 volt power supply?

yes it is compatible to use 24VAC to 24V supply


What would the control voltage be for a transformer marked 240v 24vac?

A control transformer marked 240V - 24Vac would have a control voltage of 24 volts.


What does 24vac 4.8va equal in amps?

4.8va/24v = 0.2a


What appliances runs on 24vac?

24VAC used to make dual band 12VAC eg. AC sign wave. one is negative goes up, one is positive goes down. polarities switch and frequency is made and can be tuned. Commercial application: Lots of medical equipment. Seismagraphs.


What is the difference between 24VAC and DC 24V1.0A output?

I can say that 24VAC means 24 volts alternating current. 24VDC @ 1A means 24 volts direct current delivered at 1 ampere. So the difference I suppose would be: 1. Alternating current VS. Direct current 2. X Amperes(VAC) VS. 1 Ampere (VDC)


What does 24vac 50va equal to in amps?

In 50 VA the V stands for volts and the A is for amps. Hence the formula you are looking for is 50/240 = Amps.


What IS power factor on 40VA 24VAC?

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.


How do you wire a omron LY1-O- 24vac switching relay?

Look on the side of the relay case. Here you will find the pin configurations for the C class contacts and the pins that connect to the relays coil to operate the relay.


How do you determine transformer turns ratio if the supply source and load is given?

Transformer turns ratio is the ratio of voltages between two windings. For instance, a 24VAC control transformer that runs on 120VAC will have a turns ratio about 5 to 1.


What could cause a 24 volt transformer on a house heater to burn up?

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


How can you tell if the circuit board in your AC heat pump is bad?

On the board there is a R terminal which is usually the red wire and a common. Make sure you have 24v AC power to them even with the thermostat inside is turned off. This powers the board and defrost timer in the heat pump mode. After you've checked that turn the thermostat on in the cooling mode. Check voltage between Y1 and Common. You should have 24VAC. This means the thermostat inside is telling the outside unit to run. Keep in mind some thermostats and all defrost control boards have a 5 minute time delay. Once you have verified the 24VAC coming from the inside unit on Y1 and Common and the five minute delay has passed Check the Y1 out terminal on the board to common you should have 24 volts there as well if you do not then the board is bad as long as you have the 24 VAC between R and Common I mentioned earlier.


What is wrong when furnace running in the cycle of gas turning up then fan turning on then thermostat not displaying plus gas turning down then fan stopping then thermostat displaying again?

Sounds like a limit is tripping, removing 24vac from "R" when it opens and restoring it after cooling down. Your description needs significant refining before a remote diagnosis could be possible however. lc
