upon removing a 230-12v 600va transformer from a large chandelier type light fitting (40x20w bulbs) and seeing the large, around 10mm cables from the secondary side of the transformer this got me thinking - if the is running at full capacity (600va) the current output on the secondary side would be around 50amps.
Now I know that the energy cunsumption at the 230 side is around 800w (just over 3 amps) but surely not really safe to have 50amls potentially in these fittings, particularly when the earth leads at these are 1mm at most?
