RE: I furnished that info already in an earlier post.


So this looks like a control transformer would only be operating for a short time??

No not at all. A control transformer may be energized 24/7, 365 days a year.


A transformer under 2A is by definition a fairly small transformer don't you think?

Yes. Especially to the building electrical industry.
Something to remember about NEC. It is bare minimum electrical safety standards. It is not intended to be used as a design manual or a how to manual. See NEC Article 90.

If you wired a building, and say there was a fire and it turned out it was determined it was caused by faulty electrical wiring. If the customer sued you and for your defense in court you said to the judge, "judge I wired the building per City electrical code as well as the National Electrical Code". You will lose the case.
Read NEC Article 90.1 Purpose. (A) (B) & (C).
Then read 90.2 Scope. (A) Covered.
