What is the rated current when a step down transformer is 50kVA and 120v in step down to 24v?
The VA of the transformer is the product of the amps x the volts. V x A = Watts. 50kVa is equal to 50,000 watts. It holds true on the primary and the secondary. The formula to use is I = W/E. Amperage = Watts (V x A)/volts.
AnswerThe above answer will determine the rated currents of the primary/secondary windings. But the actual currents (which shouldn't exceed their rated values for any length of time) are determined by the load. For example, with no load, no secondary current will be flowing, and the primary current will be reduced to its magnetising current value.

In a step up transformer how does the current drop if the voltage rises?
Transformers are rated in KVA, both the primary and secondary windings have the same KVA rating. (KVA is the voltage multiplied by the amperage then divided by 1000). If you have a 10 KVA step up transformer with 120V on the primary: A = 10k / 120 = 83.33A and if the secondary produces 240V: A = 10k / 240 = 41.667A
120v to 16v 10w transformer how do you convert 16vDC to 2vDC to run an LED?
Divide the LEDs current into the voltage and derive a proper current limiting resistor value. 16/0.02=800 ohms. That is for a 20 ma LED.
Why a transformer designed for a 120V AC input will often burn out if connected to a 120V DC source?
All transformers are designed to work on AC. They do not work on DC.If you connect an inductor to DC, the current will increase until the capacity of the source or the conductance (1/resistance) capacity of the inductor and conductors is reached. Often, this condition will overheat and destroy the inductor, or destroy the source. A transformer is not an exception, as it is a form of inductor.
What is the output of the control transformer?
Depends on what the voltage is being stepped down in that particular control transformer. Control transformers usually step down a voltage of 480/208v to 120V. The 120Volts can now be used in safer manner to "control" start/stop buttons, and other components that are only built to run on 120V
Hi I'm a barber. can i buy a transformer that can give an output of 120V and at 60HZ in England. Its for my clippers and trimmers. Is there such thing?
You can get a transformer that converts the UK's 230V power to 120V, but you cannot get a transformer that will convert from 50Hz to 60Hz. Often, US equipment can work, except that they will work hotter and less efficiently on the 50Hz power. Consult your clipper and trimmer documentation - you may find that it will work just fine on 50Hz.
480 transformer to 120 ac current what is the kva on transfomer?
The kVA rating will be listed on the transformer's nameplate, which is usually on the front of the transformer. The 480v to 120v is irrelevant, because many transformers with different kVA ratings convert 480 volts to 120 volts. The kVA ratings can be different and thus affect the rated current through the transformer.
What kind of transformer for going from 120v to 220v?
This type of a transformer is known as a step up transformer.
How do you use 205V equipment on 120V?
You can use a transformer or voltage converter to step up the voltage from 120V to 205V for your equipment. Make sure to select a transformer that can handle the wattage and current requirements of your equipment to avoid damaging it.
How can you convert 240v to 120v for ac?
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.

I want to use my Car stereo on household current how to convert 120v ac to 12v dc?
You can buy a transformer that will output 12 volts DC at just about any electronics or department store. You will need to check the amperage as well to make sure that the transformer can handle the current draw, but for a radio this should not be that high (it's okay for the transformer to be rated for MORE amps than the radio draws).
How do you get 480v circuit from 120v?
You can use a step-up transformer. Transformers are rated in primary voltage, secondary voltage, kVA, phases (single and three) and other parameters then equipped with indoor and outdoor enclosures. Be sure to consult a professional engineer or electrician when choosing and installing a step-up transformer. There are several NEC issues involved as well as choosing a transformer that is right for the type of load you have. One without the proper licensing AND knowledge of transformer circuits should never install 480V wiring or transformers.
What is the ratio of a potential transformer from 4160V to 120V?
4160/120 = 34.666666 to 1
120v to 16v 10w transformer how do you convert 16vDC to 2vDC to run an LED?
Divide the LEDs current into the voltage and derive a proper current limiting resistor value. 16/0.02=800 ohms. That is for a 20 ma LED.
Is there a way to install a 120V light on a 277V circuit?
No, it is not safe or recommended to install a 120V light on a 277V circuit. The voltage difference could damage the light fixture and pose a fire hazard. It is best to use a light fixture rated for the appropriate voltage.
Why does my 120v 24v reduce to 28v. when you connect it to your boiler it blows out the transformer. is a problem with the transformer or the panel?
Please go to discuss question page.
How do you change a heater from 120 volts 3a to 240 volts 1.5 a?
the simplest solution is by connecting two 120v 3amps heater in series , the same can be used directly on 240v. However the current drawn will still be 3 amps & Not 1.5 amps. The heater output power will be double that of a single heater running on 120v. ( or equvalent to two heaters operating on 120v. supply ) A more expensive method is to use a stepdown transformer which can be powered on 240v & connect the heater on the transformer 120v side. this method will consume approx. 1.5 amps from the 240v supply.
