For some reason, that is too complicated to go into on a Sunday afternoon

, 12-0-12 is actually 24v, as you have the option of taking the out put across the two 12v, which because they are out of phase, gives 24v.

The only problem is the link is a single output, and yours has 2 sockets..., but if you search on SELV transformers, there are some dual outputs, just no prices.

But there are two 12 volt outputs, that if correctly wired in series will give 24 volts, ac it depends on how the sockets are wired.

ah I see, makes sense re 12v 24v

Theres 3 output sockets on mine

Looking at the serial number, may actually be exactly the same people as well, the serial number starts JMS.

So question, who wants 12 or 24 v AC, no good to me, Rick

melissachels · 22-09-2013, 22:34

Mr says its a building site one, says the geni put out 240v but the plugs for light & what not, light plugs are more like a 3 phase plug

so you are saying its for extra low voltage lighting on sites, that would make sense in today's elf and safety state, but not for me, Rick

Lazy-Ferret · 23-09-2013, 10:38

It is not 3 phase, just a good old fashioned, double wound isolation step down transformer, rated at about 20 amp,

Thats what I said further up.... they do 12 and 24 volt temporary lights for sites where they may either be excessively wet, or there is an explosion risk, like underground tunnels and mines etc.

Lazy-Ferret · 23-09-2013, 10:41

You could sell it as a pond lighting transformer...they're 12 and 24v volt, and it would run a few of them... or just find 4, 55w car spot lamps, and wire it up as security lighting...
