Planning a 100W 12VAC Lighting System
Calculate the combined wattage of all fixtures connected to the transformer and keep the total within its 100W rating. Verify that each lamp, fixture and control is designed for 12VAC operation. Leaving reasonable unused capacity can help account for voltage drop and possible future additions.
Cable gauge and run length affect low-voltage system performance. Final transformer placement, wiring, grounding, circuit protection and code compliance should be reviewed by a qualified installer before energizing the system.
