The W.A.C. Lighting selection of low voltage transformers consists
of electronic and magnetic versions ranging from 60w to 1000w.
WAC standard electronic transformers feature auto reset, soft start
and short circuit protection technologies. The unique soft start
feature gradually applies voltage on cold starts to extend lamp
life.
New to 2007 are three additional models of Class II transformers,
bringing much needed higher wattage Class II units to marketplace.
These models are exclusive to W.A.C. and provide a single source
to wire multiple runs of low voltage units such as undercabinet
and display lights.
Electronic Transformers
Electronic transformers are valued for their small size, quiet
operation, and value.
Select from a Wide range of wattages offered in 12 or 24 volts.
Electronic transformers use the latest technology featuring radio
disturbance suppression, electronic short circuit protection with
auto reset, and soft start to extend lamp life.
Enclosed transformers are UL listed and are used for remote lighting
installations.
Non-enclosed transformers are listed components for replacement
of factory installed transformers.
Magnetic Transformers
Remote Magnetic Transformers are larger and generally have greater
capacities than electronic models. The magnetic models allow for
greater wiring distances from transformer to the powered equipment.
Magnetic transformers feature "push–to reset" circuit
breakers and multi tap options to compensate for voltage drop.
Remote Magnetic Transformers shown on this page comply with UL2108
standards for low voltage installations.
NEW! UL 2108 STANDARDS FOR TRANSFORMERS
Effective February 2007
The new U.L. 2108 standard devoted specifically to low
voltage lighting systems, is more specifi c and restrictive
than the previous 1598 standard. In particular, the standard
requires short circuit and abnormal short circuit protection
within the transformer for open bus systems such as Monorail
or Quick Connect pendants.
In other words, U.L. 2108 requires that transformers used
in low voltage systems be sensitive enough to detect a short
circuit several lamps away from the origin and prevent potential
harm from heat or fire damage.
All W.A.C. Lighting electronic and magnetic transformers
are U.L. 2108 compliant.
