Transformer for trough heating 200 VA

Transformer for trough heating

This transformer for trough heating transforms the voltage from 230 volts to 24 volts.

These transformers are suitable for all frost-free water bowls and convert the voltage from 230 volts to 24 volts. The transformer for the trough heater is suitable for all frost-free drinking bowls. Short-circuit and overload protection, as well as an integrated temperature limiter are just a few advantages of the transformer. In order to avoid unnecessary retrofitting of your transformers, it is necessary to act proactively when buying. The number and power consumption of the planned heated drinkers and heating cables should be taken into account.

Overview:

• Short-circuit and overload protection by easily replaceable motor vehicle fuse in the output circuit
• Suitable for all frost-free drinking bowls
• The transformers are additionally protected against overheating by an integrated temperature limiter (automatic reset after cooling)
• IP 65 (transformer) / IP 20 (connection)

Which transformer is to be chosen?

If you want to operate a drinking bowl with 80 W power (P), a transformer with 100 W is sufficient. If you also want to connect a heating cable with 24 V, you simply add the power consumption (= wattage) of the cable. Also consider the loss of power due to supply lines (see calculation example). This gives you the required minimum power of the transformer. Do not measure the transformer too precisely to have a buffer for extensions.

Calculation example for transformer:

• 5 x drinking bowls with power consumption 100 watts = 500 watts
• 4 x frost protection heating cable 24 V each with 30 watts = 120 watts
• 1 x antifreeze heating cable 24 V each 15 watts = 15 watts
• = Total power consumption 635 watts
• Consideration of line losses (flat rate 15%) 635 watts x 1.15 = 730 watts

In this example, two transformers with 400 watts each should be selected.
