No, using a 75-watt equipment on a 50-watt transformer is not advisable. The transformer may not be able to handle the load, leading to overheating, potential damage, or failure. It's essential to match or exceed the transformer's wattage rating to ensure safe and reliable operation.
To determine how many 12-volt, 50-watt bulbs can be used on a 100 VA transformer, first convert the transformer's capacity from VA to watts, which is effectively the same for resistive loads (100 watts in this case). Each 50-watt bulb requires 50 watts, so you can divide the total available watts by the wattage of one bulb: 100 watts ÷ 50 watts/bulb = 2 bulbs. Therefore, you can use 2 of the 12-volt, 50-watt bulbs on a 100 VA transformer.
The amp draw of a MR16 light with a transformer can vary depending on the wattage of the light bulb and the efficiency of the transformer. Typically, a 50 watt MR16 halogen bulb with a transformer can draw around 0.42 amps. It is important to check the specifications of your specific MR16 light and transformer to determine the exact amp draw.
If by "consume" you mean "waste as heat", that would depend upon the design of the transformer, but would typically be a few watts of heat loss.
If your device uses 900 Watts at 7.5 Amps, then it requires 120 volts. If you want to use it where the supplied current is 220 volts, then you'll need a transformer - but only if the device can operate on 50 Hz. Most places that use 220 Volts supply it at 50 Hz. If your device says it can operate on 50 Hz you can use a transformer.
No, it is not recommended to run a 50 watt halide bulb on a 100 watt halide ballast. The ballast should match the wattage of the bulb to ensure proper operation and to avoid potential damage to the bulb and ballast. It is best to use a ballast that is rated for the wattage of the bulb being used.

Yes
Watts are power. If the lights were mostly or totally switched off, you'd have a circuit generating 600W of heat somewhere if the transformer still took 600W, not only that, but when you switched on, the 600W that the transformer was consuming, would not disappear, so the total drain would be 1.2kW. ---- Don't understand the above answer. The 600 watts on the transformer nameplate is the maximum amount of wattage that the transformer can produce and still be within its safety limits. It doesn't draw that wattage all the time. If you had two 50 watt lamps connected to the transformer then the transformer has the capacity of 500 watts left. The transformer will only produce the wattage that the load requests. The transformer has the ability to supply twelve 50 watt bulbs. 12 x 50 = 600. Any more bulbs than 12 and the transformer is in an overload condition.
16 AWG is plenty large enough for a 50 or 100 watt lamp.
A 75 bulb will use more electricity.

Yes. It just won't be as bright.

Your stereo system has an internal transformer in the power supply that is designed to operate at a given frequency. If it is designed to operate at the load your stereo system will use at 50 Hz, then yes. Otherwise this transformer will overheat when connected at the wrong frequency, and will burn out. You might be lucky and the power supply may be labelled to operate at 50 or 60Hz; if not, I recommend contacting the manufacturer. A voltage transformer will convert 50Hz 220 to 50Hz 110. To change frequency, you need special equipment.
A 400 Hz transformer is designed to operate optimally at that frequency and may not function correctly at 50 Hz. When supplied with 50 Hz, the transformer could experience issues such as overheating, increased magnetic losses, and reduced efficiency due to the lower frequency not matching its design specifications. Additionally, the core might saturate, leading to potential damage. Therefore, while it may physically operate, it is not advisable to use a 400 Hz transformer at 50 Hz.
