Hey all. Question involving Voltage Amps. As you all know I'm in the midst of converting a ATX Power Supply to a Lab Bench Power Supply. Today I found a older slot car track I had in the attic, got the plug out for the track and it is 22 Volts 7 VA (Which I'm assuming from researching Google.com means Voltage Amps). I did some research on VA and see a math equation to figure VA out. I'm no Calculas (actually hated that class in high school lol) and have no clue what this all means.
My simple question is this. How does VA compare to regular Amps ? I need a 12 Volt 5 Amps Power supply to power the Bilge Blower Motor I have. The specs on the power supply for the older slot car track is 22 VDC 7 VA. Will this be suitable and compatible to the 12 V 5 Amps I need to supply this blower motor that I can refrain from converting the ATX power supply ? I realize the 22 VDC is well sufficient but am clueless as to how 7 VA compare or are compatible to 5 Amps. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
