Edit: great approach to understand the matter: https://youtu.be/BGD-oSwJv3E?is=Fe1FimqTCvN-aY1u

I was looking at some transformers:

But also

If it outputs 12VA (12V * 1A) of apparent power, then it receives/works with (?) 12VA apparent power. That means that the current in my 230V wall outlet is 12 / 230 ≈ 0.05A. Even a button cell can supply 0.15A per hour… This leads my uninitiated head to believe, that it is mainly high voltages that are not compatible with life.

Please advise? 🙃

    I was a little worried that that part would distract from the overall message, so I’m glad I ended up leaving it in and I appreciate you telling me that it helped.
