They are marked as such. I don't know the equivalent in other countries. Check with an electrician to be sure. For doorbell application, you can refer to them as a doorbell transformer. | |

Thanks! overloads the class 2 (Canada) transformer what is a class 2 (Canada) transormer. Do you think mine is such a transformer ? pulls the transformer voltage too low : how to check this with a multimeter?
