RE: Given 140 watt dissapation...would a power transformer rated at

Transformer 1 would be .5A x 800v=400va rating
Transformer 2 would be .3A x 800v=240va rating

Total current draw would be ~175ma.

I currently have a custom Heyboer power transformer which is the .3A@800v option....but that puppy gets really hot after 90 minutes.

Maybe upgrading to the Hammond 378cx @ 465 va would run cooler...but how much cooler?
