If you are talking the transformer that comes in the set, pretty minimal. This isn't O scale, N scale trains don't draw a lot of current, maybe .25A at the most. We don't really talk in wattage because it numbers are so small.

High wattage leads to burnt motors and melted trucks if you have a short circuit.
