Dauer 490542 300W Stainless Steel Low Voltage Transformer
Product Overview
The Dauer 490542 is a 300W stainless steel transformer for compatible low-voltage landscape lighting systems. Multiple output taps help compensate for voltage drop across lighting runs, while the photocell receptacle and timer plug support common lighting-control accessories.
The larger 300W capacity can support more fixtures or higher-load circuits, but the design must still be based on the total connected wattage, cable lengths, branch arrangement, and measured voltage at the fixtures. Leave operating margin rather than filling the transformer to its absolute rating, and use appropriate wire gauge to control voltage drop. The 12V through 15V taps provide adjustment for compatible runs after the circuit has been designed correctly. Confirm the 120V supply, mounting location, grounding, cable entries, breaker and terminal organization, accessory compatibility, and applicable electrical requirements before installation.
