AC mains current and transformer current


These are two separate issues:
1) How much current the transformer can supply?
2) How much current can your mains AC supply deliver?
The answer to (2) is easy. Go to your fuse box and look at the rating on the fuse or circuit breaker.
If the rating is 40A, then the maximum power delivered before blowing the fuse is 220V x 40A = 8800W.
Generally it is between (20A-50A)

and the answer to (1) is,
The maximum current delivered by the transformer will depend on the size and construction of the transformer:
1. As an example, let us say the transformer steps down from 220VAC to 20VAC.
    This is approximately 10:1 reduction.
2. Then if the transformer is rated at 1A on the secondary, the primary will take 0.1A.
3. That is, power in is equal to power out for a 100% efficient transformer.

The power pole outside your house, that big round
thing is a ~400 amp transformer :-)

Crack windows 7 password via ubuntu boot

Requirements: 1.ubuntu live cd or pendrive(consisting of ubuntu setup) http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads Procedure: 1.start up your computer 2.boot ubuntu linux cd 3.select the option try ubuntu option (DO NOT INSTALL UBUNTU  its not required) by selecting this option you do not install the system rather the ubuntu os is started via live cd or USB 4.In the ubuntu click on the folder ie the file explorer in the left panel 5.Goto the windows 7 system drive path : windows>system32> rename the magnify.exe as cmd.exe and rename the cmd.exe as magnify.exe (NOTE: While renaming you cant rename directly as both file cannot have same names  take a copy of both these files in any other folder in case you mess up ) 6. reboot the system and start windows 7.On the password screen you will see an ease of access (blue icon)  in the bottom left corner. click on it and select the magnifier click OK.(It will open the command prompt) 8.In ...
