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.

How many 120 volt 7 amp draw lights can be run on a 15 kva single phase transformer?
To determine how many 120-volt, 7-amp lights can be run on a 15 kVA transformer, first convert the transformer capacity to watts: 15 kVA equals 15,000 watts. Each light draws 120 volts * 7 amps = 840 watts. Dividing the transformer capacity by the wattage of each light gives 15,000 watts / 840 watts per light ≈ 17.86. Therefore, you can run a maximum of 17 lights on a 15 kVA transformer.
Can a 500mA transformer be used to operate a circuit requiring 1amp12w?
No because that transformer can only supply a ½ amp so it would seriously overheat if a 1-amp load was connected to it.
How many 200 amp panels can you tap off 250 kva transformer?
You can tap off approximately 833 200 amp panels from a 250 kVA transformer. This calculation is based on dividing the kVA rating of the transformer by the current rating of the panel.
Can you use a 30 amp disconnect switch for a 30 kva transformer?
Yes, a 30 amp disconnect switch can be used for a 30 kVA transformer. The 30 amp rating refers to the switch's capacity to safely handle 30 amps of current, which is sufficient for a 30 kVA transformer's load. Just make sure to follow the manufacturer's guidelines and electrical codes when selecting and installing the disconnect switch.
Can using larger wire sizes reduce amp draw?
Using larger wire sizes will not reduce amp draw. The amp draw is determined by the electrical device or load connected to the circuit, not the wire size. Larger wire sizes are used to reduce voltage drop and heat generation in the wiring, but they do not directly affect the amp draw of the circuit.
How many 120 volt 7 amp draw lights can be run on a 15 kva single phase transformer?

Therefore, you can run a maximum of 17 lights on a 15 kVA transformer.
Does a 3 phase step up transformer placed before a rotary phase converter reduce the single phase amp draw?
No, your amp draw will not be reduced. It will actually be slightly higher because the transformer will not be 100% efficient. Contact TEMCo Phase Converters at (800) 613-2290 if you have any more questions.
Can you use 20 kva transformer in a home?
Yes you could use a 20 kva transformer in a home. Stymied as to why it would be done though. You would need at least a 100 amp service to the home to energize the transformer. Primary side of the transformer would draw 83 amps at 240 volts. If the question was to supply the home, again yes. It would be 100 amp service equipment that the transformer would feed into.
How do you find the maximum amp draw on a step up transformer?
It depends on the load. A good transformer has over 90% (some as high as 99%) efficiency. So the power drawn by it is a function of the power in the load, plus a small amount due to losses in the transformer.
Can you sub a 240 volt 1.5 amp transformer in place of a 240 volt 3 amp transformer?
If the load you are connecting to the transformer uses 1.5 amps or less, yes.
Will a 4.74 amp transformer fry a computer designed for a 3.42 amp transformer?
No because the current rating of the transformer is a maximum allowable current. If the computer still takes 3.42 amps it will be OK provided the new transformer supplies the correct voltage.
Can you run a 40 amp 10KW oven from a 32 amp 12 KW transformer?
No; drawing more than the rated amperage from a transformer will cause it to overheat.
What is the amp rating of 100va transformer?
The amp rating for a 100VA transformer will vary depending on the actual voltage of the transformer. Transformers have both a primary and a secondary voltage.
What is the fuse rating for 5MVA transformer?
50 amp
Can a 500mA transformer be used to operate a circuit requiring 1amp12w?
No because that transformer can only supply a ½ amp so it would seriously overheat if a 1-amp load was connected to it.
What happens to amp draw as static pressure increases?
As your static pressure increases your Amp draw will drop
How many 200 amp panels can you tap off 250 kva transformer?
You can tap off approximately 833 200 amp panels from a 250 kVA transformer. This calculation is based on dividing the kVA rating of the transformer by the current rating of the panel.
