Need to find a transformer
Need to find a transformer
(OP)
I need to find a transformer. input will be 115V or 118V. needs to have output of 12v and around 10amp or 20amp. I have looked and looked but everything I find has a much lower amperage, like around 1 or 2 amp. If it would convert to 12volt DC, that would be even better. Keep in mind that I know absolutely nothing about electrical engineering! My boss asked me to find this. does it even exist or am I on your proverbial wild goose chase?

Sola is a good source
Newark Electronics is a distributor as well
If you need 10 amps at 12 vdc, you will need about a 120 watt supply.

Mouser is also another source.

Beware of starting amps ratings.
A charger may be rated 2/10/100 Amps.
2 Amps is a trickle charge setting.
10 Amps is the working setting or normal rating.
The Higher rating on a charger rated for starting boost is a short time rating only.
Note, a 12 volt charger will deliver about 14 Volts.
