Is the transformer suitable for outdoor installation.

i have been using outdoors for the past couple of months....mounted on a piece of wood, couple of inches above the ground. works great

The rating on the unit and packaging is 1000W, so as long as there is a wall outlet available nearby, and the transformer can be plugged into the unit, then the unit could be used in sequence.

Yes you can dependent on the transformer. I use these professionally as a landscape lighting professional and there are some brands of transformers that it will not fit in, so check how much room you have.

Probably. Unless you use a transformer, you'd need one that was designed for your electricity voltage and cycles.

The unit provides protection against electrical spikes and surges. Your problem is with the electrical utility provider could be a transformer issue

This is only the transformer With a plug that goes into a standard 110 V outlet. You'll need to buy the wire that goes around whatever you're trying to fence in or out. You'll need something to support the wire and insulate it from the ground such as posts for an electric fence or insulators if you're attaching it to an existing structure. You will need a metal rod pounded into the ground near the transformer to ground one end of the current. This should all be available through your local hardware store. Hope this helps.

I have not yet installed my lights, which are still in the box. After reading the instructions I decided it was too complicated for me, so I'm going to wait till spring and get someone else to install them. However, if I read the instructions correctly, I got the impression that the transformer could be outside.

It is an outdoor transformer but I don't think there should be any problem in mounting it indoor as long it controls the low voltage circuit.

Yes and it should be if isolation is required. Normally this type of transformer is a autotransformer with no isolation.

As long as you have the correct case or plug you should be fine. It's just the one side of a transformer.

I live on Kwajalein Atoll a south Pacific Island that has Ocean Salt spray and alot of rain. My transformer has been out for three months now and I have had no problems with it.

No! And any transformer you have will likely not be of sufficient capacity. Don't cause a fire or explosion; get a 220 volt heater if that is the circuit you want to use.

Yes Bruce. This was a big concern of mine as well. I am stationed overseas and was worried I would have to use a transformer. It supports 100-240V.

All transformers are multipurpose. You just need to make sure that it will supply the necessary amperage for your application. This transformer is weatherproof, others are not. Again, this is another consideration to take into account.

You need a low power transformer like this Paradise GL22300 300-Watt low voltage Transformer for outdoor landscape lighting (Ground shield, Light sensor, Weatherproof, A/C) plus wire. This is just one part of a bigger system. Will not work by itself.

I'm not an electrical engineer so I can't say for certain, but I think you could buy a small transformer and it should be fine. Good luck.

If this is the 12v version then as long as the total current is within the range of your transformer, it should work. I don't recommend it though, as these draw more current than typical landscape lights.If it is the 120V version, no, it cannot be used.
