Could some please tell me...

If a relay has a 24vac coil and a "hold VA" of 15. what does that translate
to in current draw at 24 volts? Who knows what they're talking about.....I'm
sure the relay probably kicks in around 18 volts or so. I'm just trying to
get an idea of the transformer I'll need.

15 VA with the plunger in and 24vac (at rated frequency) 15/24 A
about 625mA. If the plunger doesn't go all the way in the current will be
higher.
