MAGNETIC TRANSFORMERS

MAGNETIC TRANSFORMERS

1.Are your WAC Remote Magnetic Transformers UL listed?

Yes, they are UL and C.UL listed for both the United States and Canada.

2.Why would I want to use a Remote Magnetic Transformer?

Magnetic transformers have a proven core and coil design. They are the most durable and reliable low voltage lighting transformers where high heat is a factor.

3.What is the difference between an electronic and magnetic transformer?

Magnetic transformers are larger and have greater capacities. Electronic transformers provide value in a smaller package.

4.Can I order an old style SRT-600M-12V/24V to match my existing transformers?

No, the current WAC with dedicated 12V or 24V output is the only ones we will be offering.

5.Do I need a de-buzzing coil for these transformers?

No, they are already supplied with a built-in de-buzzing coil (LM-DBC12XXXXX). In especially sensitive applications you can order an additional de-buzzing coil, however in most cases you will find it to be unnecessary.

6.What kind of dimmer can I use with the Magnetic Transformers?

A magnetic low voltage dimmer.

7.Where is the best place to mount a Remote Magnetic Transformer?

In a cool dry place where you can gain service access. The design of these transformers allows you to mount these in between your 2x6 wall joists where the transformer could then be accessed by a wall panel.

8.What kind of warranty is available with these transformers?

These transformers carry a five-year product replacement warranty.

9.What percentage of the rated load can these transformers really take?

100%. No de-rating is required, but be sure secondary wires are rated for the amperage: For example a 300W 12 Volt transformer is 25 AMPS and requires 10 gauge secondary wires.

10.I am concerned with a voltage drop in my application. Do you have any guidelines on the subject?

The amount of voltage drop you will experience with your transformer is a combination of both the wire gauge and total load on the system (wattage). Increasing the wire gauge will allow you to increase the overall system distance.

11.How are Magnetic Transformers sustainable?

WAC Magnetic Transformers have a Five-Year Warranty and are Responsibly produced in the WAC clean, zero landfill manufacturing campus with in-house testing labs.
