I pulled a transformer out of a piece of equipment and I need to know the current rating. I tested it with a voltmeter and the output is 40vAC center tapped. The fuse on the device it came from is rated at .5A. The primary is 120vAC.
My question is, what is the current rating of the secondary?
Since the primary fuse is rated 0.5A it's likely the transformer VA rating is no more then 60VA. That would make the current rating of the secondary a little more that 1A.
.....and if you do call it 0.5A, try running it with various test loads up to that figure and checking at each stage for signs of over-heating of the tranny.
