Halogen technology in practice

The low voltage technology works on the 12 volt basis.
Thus, in contrast to the 230 volt system, the current is very high. All screw connections are therefore tight to avoid scorching the contact points. Contact points to avoid. If the contact points are once scorched, these can be can be treated with a glass brush. Ask your local electrician local electrician after.

The transformer at the Low-voltage rail system

Be aware already at the time of purchase that you. the specified minimum load of the transformers do not fall below, since it is Otherwise on the secondary side (12 volts) to overvoltage occurs. At an Overvoltage of 5% reduces the life of your bulb by 50%.
. When installing track systems, suspended ceilings or hollow spaces may cause Cavities to humming noises at the transformer come. The cavity acts as a resonance chamber. By placing rubber plates or 2-3mm thick pieces of felt underneath the transformer you can reduce this noise significantly. The same applies to the installation of external transformers. You should also pay attention to the Conductor cross-section, which is dependent on the cable length and the load.

The dimmer in the Low-voltage halogen
.
When using a dimmer, it must be ensured that pay attention to whether in the luminaire to be dimmed an electronic or a wound transformer has been mounted. The electronic transformer is to be operated with a phase-cutting dimmer, the wound transformer is to be operated with a dimmer which dimmer that operates according to the phase-angle principle. The use of an wrong dimmer will lead to destruction of dimmer and transformer.
If the luminaires are operated with a dimmer, noise must always be expected from the dimmer and the transformer. noise from the dimmer and luminaire, which is due to technical reasons. is.
