The numbers below in blue are the maximum amount of feet recommended per single run without losing noticeable
voltage drop. For example: If you are running a 12 gauge cable on the 22 Volt Tap with a 225 Watt
load, the maximum length your run should be is 187 feet. With any longer of a run, you may
experience a noticeable voltage drop. |

How do you access Multi-Volt Tap Transformer Ports?
The maximum circuit a transformer can have is 300 Watts per UL Standards. Therefore, this 300 Watt Transformer will only have one 300 Watt Circuit, but a 600 Watt Transformer will have 2 each 300 Watt Circuits, a 900 Watt Transformer will have 3 each 300 Watt Circuits, etc.
So being that this 300 Watt Transformer will have only one 300 Watt Circuit, it will then have only 1 each 300 Watt "Common" Access Port and 1 set of Multi-Volt Tap access ports (12-22v taps). Each port is large enough to accomodate up to 6 wires.
As an Example: Using this 300 Watt Transformer, you must have no more than 300 Watts of fixtures: Simply input 1 wire into the Common Access Port and the second wire into whichever Multi-Volt Tap Access Port you need for this run. If this run is going to be split off to different locations, then we suggest using our Outdoor Splice Containment Hub (click for details). This hub will allow you to take the 1 wire you input into the common and split it off into different locations. Keep in mind, this same entire run must stay under 300 watts. |
