transformer question

[tiagor]

Hi,

I really need a help on this one. I tryed searching for it but am still confused.

I have a couple of spare 24-0-24 trannies, rated 40VA.

Question one: what is the formula to know the maximum current that can be drawn? Is is straight from P=IV, which in this case would be 1.3A for each secondary winding, after DC conversion. Are this calculations correct?

Question two: the 40VA rating is for both the secondaries, right? or is it 40VA for each of the secondaries winding?

Thanks, feel free to me a bit

Tiago

40 VA total, yes.

40 VA/ 48 volts = .83 amps bridged
40/24 = 1.6 amps CT

40 VA is transformer rating, for all secondary windings it may have. DC voltage after conversion will be 33V, and output current for each rail will be 0.6A.
