Q-Tran Introduces Power Supplies Powering Constant Voltage LED Products

Q-Tran Inc. has developed several products to power constant voltage LED products; including 12 and 24Vdc linear technologies, such as ribbon light. The benefit of using the Q-Tran magnetic LED power supply is that this product can be controlled with a standard, forward-phase control dimmer known as a Magnetic Low Voltage dimmer (MLV). Q-Tran now has available with a CSA listed to UL 2108 standard, 3 product categories that include a good way, a better way and the best way to power these types of LED products.

The QTM-DC is also a rectified power supply capable of handling up to 360W at 12Vdc or 600Watts at 24Vdc. This allows the installer or specifier to put a variety of LED loads onto one transformer. The QTM-DC uses a robust rectifier to enable the conversion from ac to dc. The QTM-DC comes with Q-Tran’s QT series standard 5 tap system, allowing the installer to have the correct voltage at the end of their run and not over-drive or under-drive the LED lighting.

The QTM-DC+CAP guarantees no ripple or flicker out of the power supply. This is still a rectified power supply with a choke but also includes a large capacitor which eliminates the ripple. This is the best way to power LED fixtures especially if the LED’s are visible to the eye. This is available from 60 to 200W in both 12 and 24Vdc and also has 5 voltage taps allowing you to select a tap depending on your load, preventing the installer from over voltage issues.

The QTMeLED uses electronic LED power supplies. If dimming is required a 0-10 dimming module and wire for 0-10 wiring is needed. This is available at 12Vdc to have up to 3 60W power supplies or at 24Vdc up to 3 100W LED power supplies inside each QTM enclosure.
