rating of transformer at 2 volt amps

Posted by Robert on 07/04/2009 20:01

Here are the exact specifications:
120v 60hz / 17v 2.5va Smallwood BTX-1389 class 2

::I'm thinking there must be a misunderstanding here. A 2-VA xfmr would barely handle the dial lamp of many old radios.
::
::Can you post the exact nameplate verbage or whatever you are going by?

:I just remembered something. The Princess telephone had a #47 bulb to light up the dial. The Princess transformer was 1.73 VA @ six Volts. That might sive you some idea of what 2 VA is capable of.
