please explain transformer rated at 80VA - what is the amperage output ?

[buju357]

Hi all

as the title says , if a transformer is rated at at 80VA 0-12/0-12 , All primary windings are rated at 220/240Vac , what would the max amperage output be ?
also
what is the formula to calculate the amperage.

here is the link to the transformer:

Toroidal Transformer, 80VA 0-12/0-12 (AMZ73G) [AMZ73G] - R242.05 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce

thanks

VA(W) = V x I

So 80W / 24V = 3.33A

So either 24V at 3.33A or 12V at 6.66A.

thank you very much , now i can get the correct transformer.

VA is reactive power still in Watts, where Watts is resistive power.

Generators heed to be sized for VA, for instance, to allow for inrush of motor connected loads.
