The
Elipta
standard range of surface-mount 12v weatherproof wire-wound (magnetic)
transformers are resin-potted into black polycarbonate boxes, normally to be mounted on a wall
or post hidden behind planting and landscape features, or under decking in outbuildings. Each
transformer has a a self-resetting thermal cut-off to protect against overload, 1m mains input
IP66
Tip
: Where multiple ground burial transformers are to be installed in an area, allow connection points with circuit protection
above ground or use multi-core supply cables to allow for isolation in the event of future fault-finding or system extension
Ground-burial transformers
are used when surface-mount transformers
can't be hidden above ground, when installing
Lawnlighters
in lawns or
Groundlighters
in gravel areas, for example.
Ground-burial
transformers
feature a polycarbonate enclosure in which the wire-wound
toroidal transformer is resin sealed, a thermal overload cutoff and 1.5m
rubber cables fitted. To avoid “wicking” of moisture into the transformer,
connection to mains supply cables and multiple lighting cables must be via
resin sealed underground joints; connection of the output cable to the input
cable of a single light may be by means of a
T9962
cable joint kit.
12v toroidal transformers
with surface mount kits are available
for contractors to fit in their own enclosures - eg. to make up twin
transformers in one box. The kit comprises a wire-wound toroidal
transformer incorporating thermal cutoff, two insulating rubber
washers and a dished metal washer, bolt & nut for mounting

Ground burial 12v transformer kits
are useful to seal the
transformer and all connections in one buried unit. The
polycarbonate enclosure can be drilled for the number of cable
glands needed: the
and cables are connected in the enclosure and tested; a
sealant pack is then mixed in its own pouch & poured into the
enclosure. When the resin has set (30 minutes) the assembly
can be buried with a slab & warning tape over it. Sealant packs
are also available separately or part of an underground joint kit.
Potted 12v electronic transformers
are resin sealed to IP67 and resistant to condensation
which can affect ordinary electronic transformers used outside. They are dimmable and
especially useful where the lighting load may be varied, by adding a light or changing the lamp
wattages, and a constant voltage is still needed to avoid over-voltage and prolong halogen lamp
life. They are available as potted transformers for contractors to fit in their own enclosures (for
cable and 60cm 12v output cable for connection using
separate weatherproof junction boxes (cables &
connections carrying different voltages must be
segregated). Both cables enter the case on the same
end, allowing neat connection into junction boxes

Potted electronic power supplies
are resin sealed to IP67 and resistant to condensation which
can affect ordinary power supplies used outside. They are constant voltage dc power supplies
which will maintain a regulated supply voltage to groups of l.e.d lights, even down to just one 1w
l.e.d. deck light or steplight, so avoiding damage to l.e.d.’s from over-voltage resulting from use of
an underloaded wire-wound transformer. They are available as potted power supplies for
