To run a 12-volt bilge pump with an 8-amp draw, you need a transformer that outputs 12 volts and can handle at least 8 amps of current. It's advisable to choose a transformer with a slightly higher current rating for safety and efficiency, so a transformer rated for 12 volts and at least 10 amps would be suitable. Additionally, ensure the transformer is designed for continuous use to match the operational needs of the bilge pump.

How do you convert 230 volt to 12 volt?

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.

What is the fastest way to remove water from the bilge pump on a boat?

The fastest way to remove water from the bilge pump on a boat is to ensure the pump is functioning properly and has an unobstructed discharge path. Activate the bilge pump switch to start pumping out water. If the pump is not working efficiently, you might need to manually remove excess water using a handheld bilge pump or a sponge. Additionally, regularly inspect and maintain the pump to prevent clogging and ensure optimal performance.

How do you make ac into DC in a ac transformer?

You can not change AC into DC using a transformer. A transformer changes the voltage levels. To change AC into DC, you would need a rectifier. To change that into smooth DC you need a capaciter and a voltage regulater
