Hi Guys,
This may be a stupid question but I am a complete novice when it comes to playing with power and my wife doesn't want me to blow myself or the house up.
I had a chat with a local electronics supplier how can supply power packs to replace blown Big W transformers and says as long as the lights don't draw more than 8 amps all will be good .
My problem is trying to work this out ,I know amps equals watts /220v but I am not sure what figures off the transformer i need to use.
it says:- input 230-240v~50-60hz
output 22v~ 10va
If I worked it out right that would mean 10/220 which equals 0.045 amps per string which seems very low.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
