It is a simple on/off SPST switch on 110VAC drawing 10 or 11 amps.

I'd like to know exactly what you're trying to do. Using the wrong type of capacitor or one with the wrong values could explode and burn. I'm talking about a pretty violent explosion at 110 VAC!  A Snubber will not work because that is now what they are for. A snubber is used on the gate of SCRs to prevent false retriggering especially on high power circuits. What you need is a Thermistor. This is a flat round device with two wires coming out of the edge. The thermistor will be put in series between the power switch and the capacitor. At normal room temperatures the thermistor might have about 50 Ohms of resistance. When it warms up, (almost instantly), the resistance drops to about zero. This action limits and controls the initial power surge into the capacitor when the switch is thrown thereby preventing damage to the switch. You need to know the voltage and current load to select the right thermistor otherwise it becomes smoke.\n\nPlese use caution: Capacitors can store huge amounts of power and will COMPLETELY DISCHARGE IMMEDIATELY.\n\nA large capacitor, when shorted out, can blow a 1/4 inch screwdriver in half! Sounds cool but the missing part is burning molten metal flying at you! Please be Careful!

Some drivel here ;-)… To answer your question, you use the rating, i.e. 10kVA (note power out is ~ = to power in, there is very little power loss) and the supply voltage. US = 10kVA/110v = 90A. UK 10kVA/240 = 41A.

This transformer will provide 1800 volts in the secondary.\nConsidering 15 amp flowing in the primary, it indicates 1 amp of current in the secondary.\n\nReal world losses not considered..........

light duty is the problem - would be very easy to make one using any push on connector in the circuit ( you need a spring loaded connector with the pin being non conductive - a 'blade' shaped pin would be the easiest to rig )\n\nanother possibility is to use a switch of any type ( a - b ) that shunts the circuit to a open   circuit  ( this can be activated by a pull - and switched back manually )

I could suggest several considerations.  First P=IE, that is Power equals the electrical current (I in Amperes) times the voltage (E in volts).  Current is like the flow of water in a pipe and voltage is like the pressure causing the water to flow.  If you use the water to drive a hydraulic piston (say to hoist an automobile for repair) you can use either a small piston and high pressure or a larger piston and lower pressure.  Which is more cost effective?\n\nIn the United States, electric power is delivered to neighborhoods using three wires (three phases) strung along telephone (power) poles.  Only two of the wires are led to a single residence but the neighborhood must use all three wires to balance load on the wires.  Within a house electricity passes from only one wire (phase) to ground or earth to light a lightbulb which uses 110 volts.  The clothes dryer that needs far more power is connected between two of the supply wires (two phase) and to ground to supply 220 volts.  A machine shop might connect a very large motor to all three supply wires to obtain even more power at 440 volts.\n\nSix volts or even 12 volts DC in an automobile circuit can be touched with little danger.  It is less dangerous to accidentally touch a 110 volt AC wire than a 220 volt source and 440 volts is most dangerous.\n\nTherefore, the selection of voltage depends in part on safety and then on the size of the job to be tackled and also economic factors.  The higher the required current, the larger the required wires using expensive copper.  Increasing the voltage reduces the needed current and reduces the needed copper to do a given job.  The higher the required voltage, the more expensive the required electrical insulation will be.  Engineers must determine the best trade off of many factors.

Here are some sites that may help.  Both have circuit examples utilizing LVDT's.  Hope this helps.

My guess is that they are nothing more than an injection molded fan (Thermoelastomer blades with a rigid plastic overmold) pressed on to the end of a small DC motor.  If it is coming from China, don't expect great quality.  Chances are it is only designed to work a few times.  The switch contacts are probably bits of brass that touch eachother when you push the button.

It seperates wear the wattage is going between the two seperate rails... It is like a house wired for 240.  Some of your outlets go to one rail in the electrical panel on 120 some to the other rail of 120.  Then yet others use both rails for 240.  In the computer power supply they never really combine both rails though, just split where the end of the line goes.

Switched Mode Power Supply. Unlike the old power supplies of the past, which used large, heavy transformers, SMPS's use transistors switching DC power on and off at very high rates (typically 40 to 80 thousand times per second) into the primary of a much smaller, more efficient transformer. SMPS, in addition to being lighter and more efficient, afford better regulation of voltages. They're a bit harder to work on, but the benefits far outweigh that little inconvenience. FYI, they can also be called DC-DC converters since in a conventional setup, the house current is converted to DC by a rectifier before it goes into the SMPS. Nearly all consumer electronics products are using SMPS nowadays.

A transformer style welding machine converts the high voltage and low current electricity from the utility into a high current and low voltage, typically between 17 to 45 volts and 190 to 590 amps. This type of machine typically allows the welder to select the output current by either moving the core of the transformer in and out of the magnetic field or by allowing the welder to select from a set of taps on the transformer. These machines are typically the least expensive to purchase for hobbyist use.

Yupp... but unfortunately is a hardcopy on my desk. Perhaps you may straight to tell us what\n\n1. You are designing from HT to Transformer 11kV / 415V\n2. You are designinig from Transformer to LV ??\n3. What is the kVA of the transfomer?

You aren't clear about whether the switch is on in both measurements.  If it is, then the voltage will be the same.  If not, then the voltage will be different because of the voltage drop across the internal resistance of the battery.

It is a step down transformer.\nNs/Np = 6/220\nwhere Ns is the number of turns in the secondary and Np is the number of turns in the primary.
