[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 552078, member: 250"] Transformers adjust voltages and currents.. Excluding a few natural transformer losses.. (no machine or device is 100% efficient). They do NOT generate power, consume power or change power rating.. i.e. 'power out' is just a bit less than 'power in'. Back to my earlier post #2 50watts = approx 0.22amps.. Just under a quarter of an amp... what are the actual ratings of your routers chargers etc...? e.g. if you have a couple of PSU's that are 500ma / 300ma which are 0.5amp or 0.3amps.. They are both more than 220ma (AKA 0.22amps) e.g. 1x 500ma PSU and 1x 300ma PSU will be 800ma or 0.8amps or 184watts.. It sounds to me like your calculations are not accurate? 50 watts IS miliamp usage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why do you think 50watts is more than an Amp? e.g. Power = Volts x Current... so Current = Power / Volts Power 50watts Volts 230 50/230 = 0.217... AKA 217 miliamps!!!!!! If we were talking of Amps used 1amp x 230volts = 230watts .... NOT 50watts.. How are you arriving at your calculation??? [/QUOTE]
