Ohms law says that watts are equal to volts times amps.

240v X 13.5a = 3240 va

VA / 1000 = Kva

So, your load requires 3.24 Kva. The transformer should have a rating greater than this as a safety factor, so you would choose the next larger size, in this case probably a 5 Kva transformer with a 480v primary and a 240v secondary.

Your local electrical codes may require a larger safety factor, so you would want to consult them before buying the transformer!

Use a step down transformer 240 primary to 120 secondary. You must know what the connected load (amps) is so that you don't overload the transformer. Small transformers are rated in VA.

Which is more efficient 12v or 240v downlight?

If they are both using the same watt globes the 240v is slightly more efficient due to small losses in the transformer.


A 240V to 480V Step up transformer with a load of 85 amps at 480v what amperage will the transformer draw if the primary is 240V?

Since this transformer has a ratio of 1:2 the load current on the 480V side just has to be doubled. 85 x 2 = 170A on the primary. 40.8 KVA transformer. To prove this just find the KVA of both sides and they should be equal.
