Transformers

Transformers convert available 120 or 240 volt primary power supply to 12 or 24 volts for fixture operation. Transformers are required only for use with Remote Transformer Frame-In Housing (types DHR & DLR) or for use with downlight trims used without other housings. When calculating transformer size always derate total transformer capacity by 20%. TW-1000 and smaller are suitable for 50/60 Hz. All transformers are U.L. Listed and CSA Certified. Transformers must be specified with appropriately sized secondary fuses and fuse holders.

TW-50 50 VA Transformer (40w max.)
TW-100 100 VA Transformer (80w max.)
TW-150 150 VA Transformer (120w max.)
TW-250 250 VA Transformer (200w max.)
TW-500 500 VA Transformer (400w max.)
TW-750 750 VA Transformer (600w max.)
TW-1000 1000 VA Transformer (800w max.)
TW-1500 1500 VA Transformer (1200w max.)
TW-2000 2000 VA Transformer (1600w max.)
TW-3000 3000 VA Transformer (2400w max.)

Class II Transformers

UL Recognized Class II transformers with 120 volt primary, secondary voltage as indicated.

TW-52X 50 VA 12v Transformer (non-enclosed)
TW-52B 50 VA 12v Transformer (enclosed)
TW-54X 50 VA 24v Transformer (non-enclosed)
TW-54B 50 VA 24v Transformer (enclosed)

Eletronic Transformers

Ul Listed features lightweight and compact design with self-resetting short circuit and overload protection. Fully dimmable using standard incandescent dimmers. 120 volt primary, secondary voltage as indicated.

TE-32 300 VA 12v Transformer
TE-34 300 VA 24v Transformer

Fuses and Holders

All low voltage circuits must be protected with in-line fuses properly sized to the load.

ILH30 In-line fuse holder, 30 amp capacity
FP5 5  amp fuse FP20 20 amp fuse
FP10 10  amp fuse FP25 25 amp fuse
FP15 15  amp fuse FP30 30 amp fuse

How to Specify:

Transformers:

Determine the total wattage by adding the wattages  of all lamps in each ciarcuit, specify the transfer accordingly. Where several circuits will be powered by a single transformer, add the combined wattages for all circvuits. Always derate naminal transformer capacity by 20%.

Fuses:

Divide the toal circuite wattage by the operating voltage to determing the amperage; round up to the nearest size fuse.

Example:

To operate 5 DL31 units installed into 5 DHR2 downlight housing with 50 watt MR-16's.

Determine total Wattage: 5 x 50 watts=250 watts

Determine total amperage: 250 watts / 12 volts = 21 amps

The correct transformer is a TW-500, correct fuse and fuse holder is an ILH30 with an FP25.

A TW-250 transformer has a mnaximum capacity of only 200 watts (250) less 20%) so the next larger size, a TW-500, is appropriate.

Breaker Boxes

UL Listed low voltage breaker boxes provide a convenient and easy way to h andle multiple low voltage circuits. Low voltage power is brought from the transformer to the breaker box where wiring can be easily installed to screw down type coantacts. Each ciarcuit is rotected by a resettable circuit breaker. Specify circuit breaker size when ordering.

BB622 Breaker box with 2 circuit breakers (12v)
BB632 Breaker box with 3 circuit breakers (12v)
BB842 Breaker box with 4 circuit breakers (12v)
BB862 Breaker box with 6 circuit breakers (12v)
BB882 Breaker box with 8 circuit breakers (12v)

Lenses and Louvers

Lenses and louvers can provide additional lighting control and provide effects.

These accessories may be used with most downlights.

MR-11 MR-16
LSCL Clear lens LLCL
LSFR Frosted lens LLFR
LSUV Anti-UV lens LLUV
LSHS Heavy Spread lens LLHS
LSLS Linear Spread lens LLLS
LSDF Diffusing lens LLDF
LSBL Blue lens LLBL
LLRD Rend lens LLRD
LSGR Green lens LLGR
LSYL yellow lens LLYL
LS45 45° black louver LL45

WARNING

All circuits must be properly protected by in-line fuses, circuit breakers, or thermal devices which are correctly sized to the load. It is strongly recommended that circuit layout and power requirements be determined by professionals and that installation be made only by qualified electricians. Halogen light sources generate heat which must be considered in selecting and designing installation area. Allowances should be made for sufficient heat dissipation to avoid possible damage to surrounding materials due to heat.
