Description of 60-Watt 12-Volt Electronic Low Voltage Transformer, Plug-In
This dimmable 60-watt 12-volt electronic low voltage transformer can conveniently power low voltage lighting systems by simply plugging into the nearest outlet. It requires a minimum of 20 watts and it also has several safety features including electronic internal resettable protection, short circuit protection, auto-heat regulation, and thermal cut-off.
- Uses: used to power 12-volt halogen or xenon lighting systems [Caution: Not recommended for low voltage cable lighting systems that use cables suspended between walls to support and power decorative low voltage light fixtures hanging from the cables.]
- Maximum 60 Watts of Load: 60 watts maximum of lighting load. Unlike most magnetic transformers, these electronic transformers can be used to power the maximum wattage. [Caution: Always attach the load to the transformer before connecting the transformer to power.]
- Minimum Load: the minimum load with or without a dimmer is 20 watts. Unless this transformer is powering at least 20 watts of lighting load it will not work properly.
- Input: 120 volts AC, 60 Hz, 0.5 amps
- Output: 11.5 volts AC, 40kHz, 5 amps [Caution: a standard AC voltmeter cannot measure the output of a high frequency electronic transformer; instead, a special "true RMS" voltmeter must be used.]
- Output Lead Wire Length: 10ft
- Dimensions: 1.5in(H) x 1.3in(W) x 3in(L)
- Casing: plastic
- Dimmable: dimmable using a dimmer designed for an electronic transformer. Please see the Accessories tab to purchase a compatible dimmer. An electronic transformer can sometimes work with a standard incandescent dimmer. However, to ensure that your lighting system works effectively with the greatest dimming range we recommend that you use a dimmer that was specifically designed to control an electronic low voltage transformer. Additionally, using this type of dimmer will diminish the possibility of an audible hum when the dimmer is used – especially at low light levels. [Caution: This plug-in electronic transformer is dimmable if its cord & plug set is plugged into one of the two sockets of a dual wall receptacle, for which only that socket is controlled by a dimmer switch. This will leave the other socket available with full power for other electrical appliances like toasters, mixers, TVs, and electric knives.]
