RMAN'S CTT Series Transformers features the new Tri-Tap Transformer which takes the guesswork out of selecting the correct voltage tap when connecting landscape fixtures.   This ensures longer lamp life and prevents premature bulb burnout due to power surges or electrical spikes which are common in neighborhood power lines throughout the country.  The Tri-Tap also helps eliminate lamp dimness caused by long cable runs.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS: Select the Tri-Tap voltage output that works best with the cable length and/or lamp wattage per the calculator above.   There are three different taps:

- Use the 11 Volt Tap when the cable length is less than 60' and/or the total lamp wattage load is less than 40% of the transformer rating.

- Use the 12 Volt Tap when the cable length is from 60' to 120' with a load of 40% to 80% of the transformer rating.  There are two 12 volt tap positions because this is the most common cable length.

- Use the 13 Volt Tap when the cable length is from 100' to 200' and/or when total lamp wattage load is between 80% and 100% of the transformer rating.

TRANSFORMER SIZING:
Select a transformer that matches as closely as possible your total lamp wattage.   For example: if you have 12 fixtures all rated at 20 watts, you will need a 300 watt transformer (12 x 20=240 watts plus 10%=264 watts).  If your total wattage is too great, either divide the total load between two transformers or use a more powerful model.  Selecting a transformer with about 20% higher capacity than your total lamp wattage will allow for adding a fixture or two later.
