i've been googling for ages but cannot find a mains transformer that could run a 250 Watt 24 Volt halogen bulb. It's for an 1950s slide projector.
Any thoughts were to look, or why such beasts only seem to go up to 60 Watts?
thanks

they're going to be in the 60-70 quid region for 250VA or thereabouts.

That's great thank you. I googled for Watts and W but not for VA.

You must have been looking for the wrong spec.
250 VA 0-12 0-12 transformers are a stock item with most electronics suppliers - Farnell, RS etc. You series the secondary windings to get the 24 volts. Costs about 20 quid for a toroidal.Join the Discussion
