is the transformer powerful enough or is it too small.

2.2kva = 2200 va. 2200/110 =20 amps. The transformer should be happy with 15 amps, but it is probably intermittent 'tool' rated. i.e. not for continuous use, and needs a 10 min. rest every 10 used or better! If you are using it at full load continuously it will heat up and cause the overload to operate. I suggest you get a slightly bigger transformer , at least 3.3Kva.
Some info on this loading chart. http://www.carroll-meynell.com/power_tool_and_site_transformers.htm

Depends on what kind of trip is on the transformer. Is it a temperature trip or an ground fault interrupter? If it's an ground fault one then perhaps you want to check the insulation on your saw. Transformer seems to have enough spare capacity in hand (1650 v 2200VA).

That fact that the xformer keeps tripping says it all, the kva out of the transformer is too small. Get a heftier one.

Is your transformer rated to handle inductive loads?

You really need a 4kva, but as long as the blade doesnt get too jammed it should run. Try and cut slowly.

1.65 Kw for the saw, trani should be ok.
