The formula for amps is I = W/E. Amps = 40/240 = .17 primary amperage. For the secondary amperage I = W/E. Amps = 40/24 = 1.7 amps.

What size of cable wire used for 500 kva transformer 240 volt 3 phase?
A 10 mm cable is most commonly used for a 500 KVA transformer, 240 volt, 3 phrase. The size of the wire that is used in a transformer is based on the voltage.
What wire size for 240 volt at 60 ft run?
The question is irrelevant if you don't include the amperage.
Why is 240 volt electricity more dangerous than 12 volt electricity?
It is neither more or less dangerous . The determining danger factor is amperage.
How can you get a 240V single-phase power from a 120V 3-phase service?
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.
Is a 10 ampere fuse suitable for 240 volt?
Yes a 10 amp fuse can be used to protect a 240 volt circuit. The amperage rating of a fuse is based on the given amperage load of the circuit. The voltage rating on a fuse must match or be higher than the voltage that is applied to the fuse. In other words you can not use a 240 volt fuse on a 277, 347, 480 or 600 volt circuit but it can be used on a 120 volt, Manufactures of switching equipment today make it impossible to interchange different voltage fuses to be installed in higher voltage switches.
Can you sub a 240 volt 1.5 amp transformer in place of a 240 volt 3 amp transformer?
If the load you are connecting to the transformer uses 1.5 amps or less, yes.
Where you can buy an auto transformer 0 120 240 volt?
Try at a electrical wholesale outlet. Don't know why you would want a auto transformer. A standard 240 to 120 transformer usually does the job and it can be run backwards or forwards. 240 primary 120 output on secondary or 120 primary 240 output on secondary. Either way you will have to know the amperage of the load to get the correct size of transformer.
What is the voltage and amp service at the street before it steps down to the residence?
The voltage and ampacity can vary depending on the demand of the neighborhood. The voltage is typicaly 240 volt with the amperage capacity varying. 7,200 volts goes to the transformer on the pole, amperage varies.
How do you size the neutral in a 240 volt system?
On a 120/240 volt distribution the neutral is sized along with the supply conductors. The sizing is based on the amperage of the service distribution.
What transformer do you need if you have primary voltage of 600 3 phase and require 240 volt 1 phase?
A single phase 600 to 240 Volt transformer using two phases of the three phase primary.
What size of cable wire used for 500 kva transformer 240 volt 3 phase?
A 10 mm cable is most commonly used for a 500 KVA transformer, 240 volt, 3 phrase. The size of the wire that is used in a transformer is based on the voltage.
How do you convert 230 volts to 12 volt system?
With a Step Down transformer. But you will probably have a hard time finding a 240 volt unit. 120 volts units are readily available. <<>> It depends on how big of a transformer that you are looking for. There are many control transformers in the 50 to 500 VA range that have dual primary and dual secondary. The primary side can be connected to 240 volt or 120 volt and the secondary can be connected for either 12 or 24 volts.
Do you need a step down transformer to run a 208 volt steam table on 240 volt feed?
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.
What wire size for 240 volt at 60 ft run?
The question is irrelevant if you don't include the amperage.
How do you size a transformer based on amperage I have a 1 KVA single phase transformer I was told I can only put 4 amps across the secondary. This transformer is 240 volt primary 120 volt secondary?
On a 1kva you have 1000 watts capacity. To fine the current the formula is I = W/E. The secondary side of the transformer has the capacity of 1000/120 = 8.3 amps. In your question you do not put the amps across the secondary you draw amps from it. Using the transformer to its maximum, without overloading it, the primary will be 4.16 amps at 240 volts and the secondary will be 8.33 at 120 volts. <<>> voltage times amps equals wattage
Why is 240 volt electricity more dangerous than 12 volt electricity?
It is neither more or less dangerous . The determining danger factor is amperage.
Can 110v circuit power 240v devices?
You need a step-up transformer, to go from 110 to 220-240 volts. Then a 110 volt supply can operate 240 volt equipment.
