I need to plug this into an outlet. What type transformer (amp rating) should I buy?

I use a 12v DC transformer at 2amp and the valve switches very fast and strong, so most likely I've got more current than I need going to it, but it works. Note that the coil will get hot, but I've not had any burn up problems.

I measure 2.8 amps @ 11.9 volts so you need a 12 volt 5 amp transformer (wall wart) if you don't want it to get hot.

I would ensure that your power supply will support 10 amps. The unit runs around 6 amps but the start up is more like 10amps. Hope this helpful. Great valve for the price.

I don't believe the converter would be sufficient. I got a transformer converter- which is rated for "electronics".It's a bit heavy, but it is a reliable device. I also found it on Amazon, so search for converter/adapter for electronics.

the adapter I use is a ketch class 2 transformer input:120 ac, 65mA, output:6v DC 300ma

As far as I know you would just need an outlet adapter. I've read that'll be all you need. Hope that helps!

This is a 400 Watt PC power Supply, not a transformer, the short answer is no. Try using a 125VAC to 12VDC Transformer.

It's 120 Volt only mate so in addition to a plug adapter you will need a step-down transformer. Dick Smith sells them. Don't buy a cheap one.

you have to buy the transformer that goes with it. It will not plug into any outlet anywhere in the world, the transformer has the plug for the wall.

This is the standard for the wall outlet in the US. If you are to use this overseas you will need some type of converter.

I would just go get a "universal" power. Usually under $10. All it needs to do is match the polarity and size of the plug-in as well as the voltage. Universal should do it. NOW, if that works, tell me how you get it to work.

If you are tieng in 4 of these strips(24watts) to a power supply you will need a power supply of at least 96 watts. Dont worry about using a larger transformer and transformers are usually rated for full output...a 100 watt wold be fine. Use a constant voltage transforme not a constant current one! It is DC current.

No --- One should use a step down transformer from a reliable electrical firm. Mine came from a large electrical house. It has a 30 Amp rating. Will step down 230 to 117. Has multiple outlets.For the more thrifty, find out what the box pulls for amps, then talk to AAA ( the car guys ) and see what they have in the way of travel converters

The real question is what power source do you have? If you have a wall outlet I would get a step down transformer from your rated wall voltage to the recommended voltage. I am running 34 volts to mine. If you are using a battery I would get a step up transformer that is rated at 4 amps or better. I use a car battery and they work great. Just remember that there is heat and you need some way to disapate this heat. And don't get a cheap transformer you buy a cheap transformer like I did at first. It will work for an hour then die I got a nicer one and have not had a problem since.

Get a 12vDC adapter. You could use and old adapter from something else, as long as it has enough amps.I do NOT know how many amps this uses, but any adapter 3 amp or more should be fine.Volts = The voltage (output) of the adapter should be 12v, or a little less (lower speed). More volts is like more "electrical pressure", this could start a fire if you had too many volts.Amps = The amps should be 3, or greater (3000ma, or greater). More amps is more available power. This is okay. A 3 amp transformer could supply up to, or under, 3 amp of power.

I am not familiar with this. I guess you would have to look at the "specs" of the "thing" you want to plug in and see what it's power requirements are.

Yes, you will need a step-down transformer (from 240V to 120V). There are many transformers available and ones rated above 150W should be sufficient.

comes with a plug-in transformer(120v)...think this was your question...good luck.

I looked very quickly for outlet possibilities and this came up, I am sure there are more options besides: 360 Electrical 36030-W 4-Outlet Rotating Adaptereven better probably: Leviton 692-W 15 Amp, 125 Volt, Triple Cube Grounding Adapter, White
