    Transformer Change?

    Postby cambridgeblue » Wed Oct 17, 2007 9:01 pm

    Hi,

    I have ceiling lights (6) on a dimmer switch which won't turn on. I have been advised that I should change the transformer(s). Please can anyone advise how to go about this?

    Thanks.

    CAMBRIDGEBLUE.
    ISOLATE SUPPLY.
    THEN U COULD REMOVE TRANSFORMER AND MATCH IT
    AT WHOLESALERS TO CHECK U HAVE THE CORRECT
    RATED AND TYPE OF DIMMER.
    IF MATCHED THEN OUTPUT OF TRANSFORMER WOULD NEED TO BE VERIFIED.

    If the transformer is a independant unit then disconnect
    cables noting mains in and mains out connections.
    u will have isolated main supply before doing the disconnecting.
    if the tranformer is riveted and can t be disconnected solely then the lighting module unit /unit could be taken in to whole saler.
