| 488998 | 2006-10-03 23:14:00 | That transformer gives 15 V AC, as indicated by the tilde "~". ). The current rating is 2.67 amps. Its power rating is 40 VA ("voltamperes)". "VA"s are not always equal to "watts" in AC devices ... that one is suspiciously close ;). |

| 488999 | 2006-10-04 01:18:00 | I want to use the transformer to power something else that needs 1.25 amps. Will this be ok? | superoman (6703) | ||
| 489000 | 2006-10-04 01:35:00 | No problem. That is about half the capacity of the transformer. As long as the "something else" requires AC. :D | Graham L (2) | ||
