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.
