Is 120 V the primary or secondary voltage? If the primary (input) voltage is 120, then at full load the transformer will draw about 0.42 A from the line, and the current delivered to the load depends on the secondary (output) voltage. If the secondary (output) voltage is 120, then at full load the transformer will deliver about 0.42 A to the load, and the current drawn fom the line depends on the primary (input) voltage. amps = watts / volts So, for instance, if your transformer has a 120 V primary, and a 24 V secondary, as you might find in your AC unit or furnace: Primary current (at full load) - A = W / V A = 50 / 120 A = 0.4166 Secondary current - A = 50 / 24 A = 2.08
On a 100VA transformer the current draw on the 208 volt side will be .48 amps. The formula used is 100VA = 208 volts x amps. Amps = 100/208 = .48. This is for a single phase transformer. This size transformer is usually used in small motor control panels.
A = W/V. VA = A x V. I = VA/V.
Too little information is available to provide an answer.
Number of windings, material of the windings, the frequency of the current, the loading in OHM of the seondary winding, the cross section of the windings, the hysteresis, all contribute to the efficiency and power rating.
Since Power or watts is P= VA
40va is same as 40 watts.
That means P/V = A (amp rating)
So 40VA / 24V = 1.67 Amps
Divide its V.A (not 'va') rating by the rated secondary voltage to find the rated secondary current, and by the rated primary voltage to find the rated primary current.
To find this answer divide 12 by 120 volts. This will give you the amperage.
Yes a transformer should be used. The steam table needs its correct voltage otherwise on 240 volts it will operate over its given specified nameplate wattage. A 208 volt heating element run off of 240 volt will have an output increase by 75 percent.

The device should be marked with the voltage range it works over. If the device is run at a voltage above that range it could be dangerous or the device could be damaged <<>> 208 volt device on 240 volts No. The device will operate over its given specified wattage rating. A 208 volt device run off of 240 volt will have an output increase. Ohms law stated that current is directly proportional to the applied voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit. A 240 volt heater can be run off of 208 but the wattage will be reduced. For example lets use a baseboard heater. If the heater is 5000 watts at 208 volts, the current is I =W/E 5000/208 = 24 amps. The resistance of the heater is R = W/I (squared) =5000/24 x 24 (576) = 8.68 ohms. Applying 240 volts on the same heater whose resistance is 8.68 ohms results in this new heater wattage rating. W = E (squared)/R = 240 x 240 (57600)/8.68 = 6636 watts. This is 1636 watts higher than the manufacturer's safety rating and could destroy the equipment.. W = watts, I = amperage, R= resistance in ohms and E = voltage.
45000 / 208 /sqrt(3) = 125A per phase this is probably called a boiler unless it has a 2000Gallon tank

You need to mention the Load connected to find the current.

Yes, but the motor's horsepower rating will not be reached.
Yes by using a 3-phase transformer. The size depends on how much power has to be converted.

First of all there is no common three phase 120 volt service. There is in North America a three wire 120/240 volt single phase service. That being said, if you want to change a 120 volt source to 240 volts it must be done with a transformer. Its classification is a step up transformer. The primary side of the transformer H1 - H2 will be connected to the 120 volts. The secondary side of the transformer X1 - X2 will be connected to the 240 volt load. The transformer is sized by the current required by the 240 volt load.
No a 208 volt outlet does not need a neutral. 208 volts is the line voltage between any two legs of a three phase 208 volt system.
The transformer will act as a step down transformer in the ratio of 240 to 208. This will reduce the 208 input to 180.

Because its designed to operate at 230-460, not 120-208.
