Question: how many amps in a 40 va transformer?
Answer: Knowing that a 40VA transformer will produce 24 volts, Ohms law can be used to determine what amperage the transformer can operate at before burning up. 40 Watts / 24 Volts = 1.66 Amps. This 1.66 Amps is the amount of current that can safely be drawn on the 24volt R or C control circuit wire.
