How To Hook Up A 24v Transformer

Attach the two black wires from the transformer to the 120 vac power supply wires.

How to hook up a 24v transformer. In this video i ll talk about the basic fundamentals of a transformer. The other power supply wire will be white this is the electrical systems neutral or common. You must power a new office in warehouse 5. A high side and a secondary or low voltage side.

There are two sides to the 24 volt transformer. Now compare that to the transformer wattage amperage. This article will tell you how to connect a ring doorbell directly to a low voltage 8 24v ac transformer. Most thermostats are very low draw but to make sure look up the power requirements for each and add them together.

When operating low voltage lights you need a transformer to convert your standard line voltage 120v or 277v into low voltage 12v or 24v this allows your lights to function properly. If you don t have an existing doorbell it s possible to connect a ring doorbell 3 directly to a low voltage 8 24v ac transformer designed for doorbell circuits. The secondary or low voltage side is the power that is transformed into 24 volts. Some important facts for people planning on using this optional alternate configuration for their ring video doorbell.

One supply wire will be the black voltage wire attached to the fuse or circuit breaker. So how do you connect the transformer within the junction box the h connections denote the higher voltage winding of a transformer and the x connections identify the lower voltage windings. The high side is the line voltage of the transformer and the electrical connection to the feeding voltage generally a 120 vac power. Some important facts for people planning on using this optional alternate configuration for their ring video doorbell 3.

The ring video doorbell can only be connected to an ac transformer. If less is needed from the 2 stats than the transformers rated output you are good to go. If you connect low voltage lights directly to line power the higher voltage would cause them to burn out immediately. I have run multiple thermostats and even a 24v damper off a single transformer.
