A transformer is a tool that takes the output of a Dapp and converts it to another format. Current transformers include: RSS, email, HTML, Google Maps, and more. To transform a Dapp, find or create a Dapp and then click the 'more uses' button to see the available set of transformers.

You can use a dimmer with a halogen lamps but some low voltage halogen lamps require a special dimmer. Particles from the filament in a halogen bulb will cycle from the filament to the inside of the quartz envelope and back while in operation. Halogen bulbs used on a dimmer will last longer if they are set to full "ON" for two minutes before being turned off — this helps the particles from the filament complete their cycle.

Unfortunately there are no compact fluorescent energy savers available on the UK market that can be dimmed using a standard domestic dimmer. There are dimmable ones available in the US but the technology used is not compatible with all of the types of dimmer which are used here so these are not manufactured for the UK market.

Yes. Transformers are tools which transform the raw XML produced by Dapper to various useful formats. Soon, we will release the code of the existing transformers and an API that will allow you to build new transformers and add them to the current existing list. See similar questions...

Connect the primary leads to any two wires of the three phase source to obtain a single phase output using a single transformer. Bank three single phase transformers to be connected in either a delta-delta or delta-wye configuration for a three phase output. The equivalent three phase capacity when properly connected is three times the nameplate rating of each individual single phase transformer. See similar questions...

Yes, only if the fluorescent light is using a dimmable ballast. Any time a dimmable ballast is used, a compatible dimming switch needs to be installed. The ballast manufacturer can provide a list of compatible switches. See similar questions...

It is normal and safe for a dimmer to become ware to the touch during normal operation (similar to stereos, televisions, etc.) See similar questions...

One of the by products of lighting dimmers is heat. Dimmers have built in heat sinks to dissipate the heat energy safely to the atmosphere. Dimmers are rated as to the amount of watts they can safely dim (ie: 1 300w, 500w, 1000w 1500w). Dimmers will get warm to the touch but should never get hot. A hot dimmer indicates the dimmer may be overloaded (to many watts). See similar questions...

Yes, if you are planning to add a dimmer, make sure it's the low voltage electronic dimmer. (Lutron brand is suggested). Most people use the 50W lamp when they are adding a low voltage electronic dimmer to these pendant lights. See similar questions...

What is the condition for maximum efficiency of a transformer? What is the load current at this condition?(copper loss=iron losses) Why do you need to do Sumpners test ?(Copper and iron loss occurring simultaneously so even temperature rise of a transformer under actual conditions can be estimated, while in SCC and OCC either copper or iron loss occurs while under real operating conditions both occurs) See similar questions...

To use a compact fluorescent bulb on a dimmer switch, you must buy a bulb that's specifically made to work with dimmers (check the package). GE makes a dimming compact fluorescent light bulb (called the Energy Smart Dimming Spirals®) that is specially designed for use with dimming switches. We don't recommend using regular compact fluorescent bulbs with dimming switches, since this can shorten bulb life. See similar questions...

C.T. is short for center tapped. The center of the winding has been brought out of the transformer via a wire lead or termination. See similar questions...

The main purpose of your power supply is to run your trains. To run your train your power supply must supply energy for your locomotive, smoke unit, sound system , and any lighted cars. You may also need power for accessories like switches, street lights, building and house lighting or any other accessories. Your TOTAL POWER REQUIREMENTS depends upon the number of locomotives or motors, and ALL OTHER items that require electricity. The length of the track is not a factor. See similar questions...

A DependencyTransformer implements the behavior needed by an object to register interest in a value model. A dependencyTransformer is defined as a dependent of a value model and converts an update message sent to itself into a specific change message and sends this change message to the interested object.

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were used in electrical transformers manufactured between 1929 and 1977, with the majority being installed in residential and commercial buildings and industrial facilities prior to 1978. A “PCB transformer” is a transformer that is known, or assumed under TSCA, to contain PCBs at concentrations greater than 500 parts per million (ppm). See similar questions...

Generally, a transformer will have a nameplate attached to the unit indicating the name of the dielectric fluid, the approximate weight in pounds, and the amount of fluid, usually in gallons. In accordance with the Toxic Substance Control Act (40 C.F.R. ? 761.40 (a)), proper PCB identification labels must be visible near the access to the transformers and also on the transformer itself.
