CIRCUITING GUIDELINES
Transformer
When using a single transformer, center it on the wattage load and minimize cable runs to reduce voltage drop. When using multiple transformers spread the load evenly and install them as close to the fixtures as possible to avoid voltage drop. For voltage drop calculation, visit fxl.com/voltage-drop- calculator.
Single transformer: When using one transformer, center the transformer on the wattage load. Minimize all cable runs to reduce voltage drop.
Multiple transformers: When using multiple transformers, spread the load
evenly across all transformers. Avoid voltage drop by installing the
transformers as close to the fixtures as possible.
