Compact 120V to 12V 60W Electronic Transformer for Black Finish

This plug-in electronic transformer is designed to provide a 12V output from a 120V input, with a maximum load capacity of 60 watts. It features a black finish and comes equipped with a few key components to ensure safe and efficient operation.

At the base of the transformer, there is an on/off toggle switch that allows for easy control of the power supply. Attached to the transformer is a 72-inch detachable cord with an open splice, granting flexibility in placement and installation.

The transformer is classified as a class 2 low-voltage device, meaning it is inherently protected and power-limited to safeguard the connected lighting system from both normal and abnormal short circuits. This is achieved through the inclusion of built-in auto reset, soft start, and short and overload circuit protection features.

The soft start delayed start feature is particularly noteworthy, as it extends the lifespan of the connected lamps by gradually ramping up the inrush current, rather than subjecting them to an abrupt surge. This helps to prevent premature wear and tear on the lighting components.

Smooth and continuous dimming can be achieved through the use of an electronic low-voltage dimmer, which should always be installed on the primary (120V) side of the transformer. This ensures optimal performance and compatibility with the system.

The transformer is rated for use in damp locations, meeting the standards set by UL and cUL (Canadian Underwriters Laboratories). This makes it suitable for use in environments with higher levels of humidity or moisture, such as under-cabinet lighting installations.

To support low-load LED systems, the transformer has a minimum load requirement of 1 watt. This ensures the efficient operation of LED lights, which can sometimes struggle with transformers designed for higher-wattage loads.

The ideal application for this transformer is with WAC Lighting's under-cabinet lighting systems, where its compact size, safety features, and dimming capabilities make it a reliable and versatile power solution.

In summary, this plug-in electronic transformer offers a range of features and capabilities that make it a suitable choice for powering low-voltage lighting systems, particularly in under-cabinet applications. Its combination of safety, efficiency, and user-friendly design make it a valuable component in any well-designed lighting setup.
