After 30 years, I am starting back into building gas powered models. Current techniques have one cutting wings and boat hulls out of foam and to cut the foam one uses a "hot wire". I've made a hot wire using downloaded plans that include a doorbell transformer to heat the cutting wire.
The transformer has three output terminals, combinations of which give different outputs. They are labeled: 8V - 10VA 16V - 10VA 24V - 20VA
My question is which output will give me the hottest wire? My guess is the 24V - 20VA output because of the higher amperage - is this true?
Thanks in advance for your help in understanding this.
