Chuck: The key to your statement is "...is capable of handling....", whatever that is supposed to mean. The basic fact is that if the secondary has R ohms of resistance, then with a load of I amperes
And don't forget it's the rms value of current to use here. With a capacitor input supply, rms current can be several times the dc current so (Irms squared) can easily be 5x (Idc squared). Steve ____
