You can if you want to connect two 12 volt lights in series with each other. Make sure that the 12 volt lights are rated for AC and not DC.

Further to the above answer, you must also ensure that the two lamps have identical power ratings, or the lamp with the lower power rating will be brighter than the one with the higher power rating!

What is the amp rating of 100va transformer?

The amp rating for a 100VA transformer will vary depending on the actual voltage of the transformer. Transformers have both a primary and a secondary voltage.

If a centre tap transformer rated as 12V-0-12V 1Athen what will be the secondary current of that perticular transformer?

The output voltage of a transformer is not connected to the maximum rated current. You state that the transformer is rated at 12-0-12 at a current of 1A, therefore the maximum (rated) current on the secondary would be 1A. Normally, transformers are rated in VA (volt amps) which is simply voltage x current, the voltage across the two 12v terminals would be 12+12 volts, making the rating of the transformer 24VA.


How do you ground a inground pool light?

Most pool lights are 12v ac and run off a transformer so no need to ground


What are the 5 voltages produced by an ATX or BTX power supply?

+12 volt , -12 volt, + 5 volt, - 5 volt, and + 3.3 volt.


How do you convert 12V to 110AC?

Is the 12V AC or DC? If it's AC, you find a transformer that can step up voltage by approximately a factor of 10, and adjust the output as necessary (e.g. with a voltage divider). If it's DC, then you can build an oscillator that runs on 12V DC and then put it into a transformer. Be sure to know how your oscillator's waveform is effected by the transformer.


Will s light sensor from a 240 light still work for a 12 volt system?

No, you will need to get a step up transformer, it's probably more sensible to get a 12v sensor.


Can I exchange a 12V 400MA transformer with a 12V 1.25 amp transformer without damaging the unit?

if used for charging-NO if used for supply voltage-yes


If a dc voltage of 12v is added to the secondary of step down transformer and rating of transformer is 220 input and 12v output what will be the result from primary of transformer?

A DC voltage added to one side of a transformer has no effect on the other side.


Can you run a 12 volt vw beetle with a 6 volt generator?

No. The ignition needs 12v to run, the starter needs 12v to crank, the bulbs all need 12v to get bright enough...


Can i use 12v -0-12v to 230v step up transformer to get more voltages let say 2000v?

If you exceed the rated voltage of your transformer, there is a high possibility that its insulation will break down and you will ruin that transformer.


How do you measure the volt ampere rating of a transformer?

Your transformer should have a namplate on it that states how many amps or fractions of amps it can produce. You would then multiply that number by your secondary voltage to get your VA rating. sec. voltage 12v X .05 amp = 12 X .05= .6va
