You'll have plenty of power left over to power some less power-hungry buildings as well.
Mark, I am confused. If the building takes half an amp, why is a 1A or 2A supply insufficient? Are these still the unregulated supplies? If so, I thought they were being replaced with a regulated supply to avoid issues with voltage fluctuation.
Gunrunner,
If the building truly takes half an amp, I would agree that 1A or 2A would be sufficient. I'm no electrician, but the building doesn't want to run on those. However, it runs great on the 5 amp transformer.
The transformers are all regulated, so we have no voltage fluctuation.
I hope this helps!
