Low voltage lighting as a safer lighting source the advance in lighting technologies now provide several low voltage alternatives to be considered as a replacement light source.
Low voltage pool light wiring.
If this is the case then this needs to be changed because a 220 volt pump circuit does not provide the necessary isolated neutral wire for the 120 volt light.
In a similar vein while some lights may be low voltage their transformers hold high and.
A ground fault circuit breaker must be used to supply power to the lights.
Even if the conduit is broken or cracked the pool light cord would also have to be damaged to cause the gfi to trip.
Wiring to colorlogiccrystalogic lights not networked and other low voltage pool or spa lights for field wiring information please refer to the instructions attached to the inside front cover of the ltbuy11300 as well as the diagram below.
Why it takes 5 minutes to trip is anyone s guess but you need to use that as a cue to take action.
Twelve volt wiring and 120 volt wiring should never occupy the same space with one exception.
The built in circuit protection will.
Low voltage lights will require an external transformer.
High voltage then could be sent to the low voltage light.
High voltage then could be sent to the low voltage light.
Switching to 12v isn t going to fix the damaged wire if that is the case and you lose gfi protection completely on low voltage.
