Transformer Specifications Requirements
The transformer has to be:
24 Volt A.C. Class II
(This is a magnetic coil type -not electronic coil type)
Lantern Requirements:
The electronic ignition system for each lantern requires 12Va per lantern which is approximately 1/2 amp (.5) @ 24 volts per lantern.
Example:
A 24 volt A.C. 40Va ClassII transformer will operate one, two or three lanterns.
1 Lantern x 12 Va=12 Va (Less than 40Va)
2 Lanterns x 12Va=24 Va (Less than 40Va)
3 Lanterns x 12Va=36 Va (Less than 40Va)
Available @ W.W. Grainger Stock #4X746
Available @ Johnstone Supply Stock #PF42440
A 24 Volt A.C. 50Va Class II transformer will operate four lanterns but not five.
4 Lanterns x 12 Va=48 Va (Less than 50Va)
5 Lanterns x 12 Va=60Va (Greater than 50 Va)
