If the motor says it is 1/10 HP then it is 75 watts. If 1/8 HP then it is 98 watts.
I am guessing that is a 1/12 HP and is 65 watts.
I think a 100 VA(watt basically) transformer will take care of that.

Should be plenty. .54 amps is probably start up amps for that little motor. 150 watt transformer should be plenty.
