On a low voltage (12V, AC) lighting system:
A contractor responds to a homeowner's complaint that a group of fixtures is not working.
- The contractor finds that all 4 fixtures are spliced to a single field splice.
- He test all lamps, they are all Ok.
- He tests the voltage at each fixture (with the lamp in place) - all fixtures are receiving 12V.
- He disconnects one fixture and brings it back to the transformer and connects it to the common and 12v tap and the lamp lights.
- He concludes that the problem was at the field splice or the home run wire. The splice is Ok so he replaces the home run wire.
- The system works - all lamps light.
