Different sets have different watt transformers. This descriptions does not tell you how many watts the transformer is? 40 w or 80 w?

Mine came with a 40 w, which seems pretty unreliable. There is an "upgrade" version of the Penn Flyer that is said to come with an 80 w transformer--look for the one with the searchlight car. I liked this set of cars better, but am disappointed in the transformer.

No way. 1horsepower = 746 watts. So even if it was a 1 hp motor it would exceed the transformers max output by 246 watts. 2.75 hp x 746 watts =2051.5 watts. This is more than 4x the max of the transformer

The ST-3000 is rated at 3000 watts. For safety, its recommended by the manufacturer that the voltage transformers maximum power should be equal or greater than the power rating of your appliance multiplied by 1.5. For example, if you have an appliance rated at 100 watts, you will need to pick a transformer with a maximum power of 150 watts or greater.

The 11 watts is rated for the transformer size. The receptacle for the bulb is only rated for 11 watts or less. I have rebuilt two lights with new receptacles because two out of 20 failed in the last 3 years. The receptacles are only rated for 11 watts.

Yes the transformer is the CW80 80 watt transformer. Thanks Len B E Discount Trains

This 120 watt power transformer can replace the DA-120 which also produces 120 watts. You should determine how many lights you will use, add up the wattage. This will give you a minimal base to start. If you think you'll add more lights/fixtures in the future or perhaps higher wattage bulbs, purchase a larger transformer. The total wattage along the run determines the power of the transformer plus add about 10% for the loss in the line if over 50ft., or if you have a large amount of lights within the line. Hope this is what you are asking about?

Hi! Mine is 120 volt, 60 hz and 110 Watts. I'm using it with a small 220/110 volt transformator. Good luck!

I wanted the same thing, thinking however I'd switch the halogens out for LED. Didn't like the look and the transformer for some reason would make the lights flash after it got warm. Not entirely sure since I had 10 lights at 4 watts each, for a total of 40 and the transformer is designed for 100 watts. You can "build your own" with other transformers and lights, but that makes it very pricey $$$$ fast. The simple answer is no, you can't go beyond whatever your transformer is rated. It becomes a fire hazard.

Literally it says: AC-AC ADAPTOR CLASS 2 TRANSFORMER MODEL CY41-2400450A INPUT:120 AC 60Hz 16W OUTPUT:24V AC 450mA Hope it's helpful.

It will depend on the wattage total for 70" and the total wattage output of the transformer. In this case I used a 30 watt xfmr. Check the ratings for the lamps..

Wattage should be negligible. At .1 amp input and .3 amp output, I doubt this is going to challenge even the smallest of transformers.

Hello, Look for the wattage on the transformer and then add up the watts on the bulbs. So a 120 watt transformer can have 12 10 watt bulbs or 2 10 watt bulbs and 25 4 watt bulbs etc

have 2 - 1 for a 40w and the other for 80w bulbs. Think the spec requires 30w min load.

Sorry for the delay Daniel. It depends on the type of LED strip. Most reels or strips are 16' If the strip has 300 LEDs its usually a 30 watt strip. If they are high intensity or double LEDs then they are 60 watts which is the maximum of this transformer. so If its 30 watts then 32', if high intensity then 16'. It's all about the watts!

The way you wrote amperage no. You have it as 4.13 amps these transformers are only .030 amps which is 30 milliamperes

Wattage is determined by how much powerful your gadget is. Just like Logan said. You need to see how much wattage is written on the device. I purchased a 500 watt transformer for a hot plate that I have which takes 400 watts. It works wonderful. Go with a higher watt transformer so that you can easily use it with any other future devices that go up to 500 watts.

Input: AC 90-264v 50/60hz 0.42A 36W Output: DC 12v 2.5A 30W Gets a little warm after continued use, but no more than any other transformer.
