i have a mackie transformer that is rated @ 1400 watt. what does the 1400 mean, is that @ any of the outputs or is it something else? one output is 55 volt ac. does that mean this puts out aprox 25.45 amps? thanks to anyone taking time to answer. greg

watts=volts*amps

1400watts/55volts=25.45amps

BTW, If you have multiple secondaries, it applies to the total, not a single one, you can only use up to the maximum rating on one secondary, if the wire gauge is sufficient to carry the max load.
