Using a transformer with a higher capacity that is needed by the device connected to it will not damage the device. This is as long as the voltage the device needs is the same as the Transformers output.

How many amps does a 12 volt 600 watt transformer use at 120 volts?
A transformer does not use, it transforms voltage from one value to another. The output amperage is governed by the connected load. If the load wattage is higher than the wattage rating of the transformer then either the primary or secondary fuse will blow or the transformer will burn up if the fusing is of the wrong sizing. The maximum primary amperage can be found by using the following equation, Amps = Watts/Volts, A = W/E = 600/120 = 5 amps. The same equation is used for the calculating the maximum secondary amperage, A = W/E = 600/12 = 50 amps.
Can you put a transformer on a 32 amp generate to drop the amps to 16 amps?
The purpose of a transformer is to transform one voltage to another voltage. This can be in the configuration of stepping up the voltage or stepping down the voltage . The load is what establishes what the current from the transformer is going to be.
How many amps can you get from a 500Kva transformer?
To answer this question a voltage must be given.
How many amps does a 240 volt 12VA transformer draw?
12/240, 0.05 amps, maybe about 30% more because of the poor power factor of small transformers.
Can you plug a 120V amplifier into a regular socket in a household?
No, you can not plug a 240 volt amplifier into a 120 volt outlet. That said there are a number of step-up transformers available that will convert 110V to 220V - that's the simplest way to do it. You should make sure the transformer is rated at many times the power of your amplifier, because of inefficiencies in the amplifier. Look on your amplifier to see how many amps it uses at 220V. Double that number for going to 110 and add 20% more amps as a conversion margin. Take that number and multiply it by 110 to get the watts you need to supply. Size the transformer accordingly. eg. 5 amps @ 220V 5 amps * 2 = 10 amps 10*20% = 2 amps Total amps = 12 amps 12 amps*110 = 1320 watts In this example a transformer rated at or above the calculated wattage is recommended.
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

Direct current 12v to 10v to increase amps?
using a step-up transformer. ****warning***** will stress a power supply
How can you find the rating for a Current Transformer?
depends on the type of transformer, does it have any markings? just type them into google or look for a capital a 'A' for amps or mA for mili amps.
100 amps mccb trip when charged it is connected to small power transformer?
what is the fault in the transformer, it trips when it is charged.it is charged through the 100 amps MCCB.
What is the ampere range value of transformer?
This typically has to do with how many amps you can safely pull from the secondary of the transformer.
How many amps does a 600 watt low voltage transformer box pull?
The transformer itself does not pull current. Whatever you connect to the transformer pulls current. Whatever the output voltage of the transformer is, divide that into 600 and you get maximum current possible without burning up the transformer. At 24V that's 25 amps.
How many amps will a 0.25 kilo volt amp transformer at 120 volts put out?
2.083 amps
How much actual power does a 1KA transformer provide?
The kVA represents the power-handling capability of the transformer.So, if you were using a 1 kVA transformer at 110 volts, you could roughly estimate the maximum output to be 9 amps.

How many amps do you need to supply a 150kva transformer to get 118amps 480 volts?
Rephrase your question, as it doesn't make any sense. If the primary side of the transformer is 480 volts 3 phase, this transformer can be supplied from a breaker as big as 180 amps. If 480 volts 3 phase is your secondary then you can supply up to 180 amps to your loads.
