Hi,
Those transformers are rated at 10amps and that's what you'll get out
of them continuously at rated tempeartures. It may handle 20amps for
several seconds before cooking. The options are to use 2 of the same
in parallel, or find a transformer rated at 20amps. There's no tricks
to get more power then advertised. Funny you ask, I have a friend
asking the same questions about these transformers. At the price of
these its a bargain and still looks nice as both transformers are
identical.
