To run a 500-watt load with a 12V transformer, you need to calculate the current required using the formula: Current (Amps) = Power (Watts) / Voltage (Volts). For 500 watts at 12 volts, that would be approximately 41.67 amps (500W / 12V). Therefore, you should select a transformer rated for at least 500 watts, but it's advisable to choose one with a higher capacity (e.g., 600-700 watts) to ensure it can handle the load safely and accommodate any inrush currents.
Most electronic equipment runs on far less that both of these voltages. Most likely from 5 to 12 volts DC. To get down to these votages it has to be processed by a transformer. Good equipment will have a switch on it so that you can chose what the input voltage will be. All this switch is doing is changing the taps on the primary side of the control transformer. The secondary side of the transformer is the working voltage of the equipment 5 to 12 volts. The secondary side of the transformer is then put through a full wave bridge rectifier to change it to DC. When you charge your cell phone this is all that you are doing when you plug it into the wall, except without the switch to select the 240 volts. The rectifier is built right into the wall PAC and out comes the voltage your cell phone is looking for. This planet is usually running 120 ac or 220 AC That is what most of the people knows as power. There is and never will be a set of voltages that will run everything. but there are some industry standards personal computer are 3v,5v,12v ,12v. these voltages are not are set but are carefully chosen for efficiency a room heater will take forever to heat a room at 5v. so the conclusion is voltages are chosen for efficiency and nothing more then that.
There are many electronics today that run on 12 volt DC power. The good news for anyone who is traveling is that you can use a 12 volt AC adapter 12 VAC 2A.
Lady Gaga is a size six in shoes and her favourite shoes are 10inch stilettos. A family friend of mine works in an arena where one of lady gaga concerts was at and he was a run around for her. He had to go get her shoes and skin coloured thongs, the shoe size was 11. No joke!

A 60VA transformer can run only one 50W bulb.
Most pool lights are 12v ac and run off a transformer so no need to ground
You can use a step-down transformer to convert the 240V power supply to 12V required for the winch. Make sure the transformer is capable of handling the power requirements of the winch and is properly wired to ensure safety. It's recommended to consult with a qualified electrician to set up the connection safely and effectively.
no
No. The ignition needs 12v to run, the starter needs 12v to crank, the bulbs all need 12v to get bright enough...
If you have a transformer with an output adequate to run the motor, use it directly for the supply to the motor control circuitry. Remember when dealing with motors, the start current will be about 300% of the full load running amperage. Size the transformer accordingly.
No, the supplies output is too small. To run a 550mA device a supply source of 600mA and larger would be needed.
Yes, if the device has a built in step down transformer. Think of it this way, the electricity in your household is a typical 230v. Mobile phones tend to use 6v of electricity. So when you plug your phone charger into the wall socket, 230v will run directly into that charger, through the cable and into your phone, typically blowing up the device or overloading it. That's why the charger has a transformer in it (a step-down transformer) which steps down the voltage from 230v to about 6-12v. So hopefully that explains your question. If not, try to eleaborate a bit more so i can possible help further. Thank you.
Amps * Volts = Watts Amps * 12 = 600 600/12 = Amps = 50 amps You would need a reserve capacity, so I'd go somewhere between 60 or 100 Amp rated transformer. Transformers are rated in volt-amps which is usually calculated the same as watts. But the term "watts" technically does not apply to transformers. So you need a 600 volt-amp transformer or, as Redbeard has suggested, you need an 800 or 1000 volt-amp transformer. That's a lot of amps for a 12 volt system so I recommend you double check your requirements. You will need a #2 gauge wire if your requirements are correct.
A step-down transformer U really don't need a step up or stepdown transformer You need a source capable to run your LED it can be a swithcing power supply for istance a battery
12v bulbs are typically more cost-effective to run compared to 240v bulbs because they consume less electricity. This is because 12v bulbs have lower wattage ratings and are more energy-efficient. Additionally, 12v systems may also have lower installation costs and require smaller wiring sizes, resulting in overall savings.
To convert DC (battery) to AC to run household appliances you need an "inverter". Because they are usually hooked up to a car battery (12V) they can't provide too much power. Usually enough to run lights, a small refrigerator, TV or laptop computer OR similar low power equipment.
