Q-TRAN Introduces Q-Set Modular Transformer Cassettes for Direct Burial Applications
First Series in All-New Q-Scape Family of Products for Landscape Lighting
BRIDGEPORT, CONN. ---Offering a major technological breakthrough in power supply technology, Q-Tran introduces Q-Set, a series of innovative modular toroidal transformer cassettes designed to power low voltage lighting for pool/spa, landscape and indoor applications. Q-Tran, the industry leader of high-performance power supply systems and transformers, has also unveiled Q-Vault, a self-contained housing for Q-Sets, which can be installed in-ground.
About Q-Set
The Q-Set Series of Power Supply Centers offers nine models of toroidal transformer cassettes, ranging from 2.5 inches to five inches in width. The smaller Q-Set1 offers one secondary circuit breaker (CB) of 15, 20 and 25 amps, which provides 180, 240 or 300 watts in maximum lamp load. Q-Set2 offers two secondary 15, 20 or 25 amps (CB) for maximum wattages of 360, 480 or 600, while Q-Set3 incorporates three secondary 15, 20 or 25 amps (CB), which provides 540, 720 or 900 watts.
Each Q-Set is designed with a custom designed, 50-amp, large capacity terminal block to hold a maximum of seven #14 AWG wires, or five #12 AWG wires, or four #10 AWG wires, or two #8 AWG wires. An extra-long, one-inch strip allows for two set screws per terminal, to provide tighter connections and ensure better transformer performance. The unique primary compartment, containing high voltage wires, is separated from the secondary wiring for additional safety. Specially designed, insulated tools are supplied to maintain tight connections and keep wires torque.
Q-Set surpasses the industry's most stringent standards as the only power supply center to feature three UL listings: UL1838 code for landscape lighting, UL code for pool/spas, and UL2108 code for interior lighting.
About Q-Vault
Q-Vault is a housing designed to contain a single Q-Set2 or Q-Set3 cassette, or one or two Q-Set1 cassettes together. The highly versatile Q-Vault installs in-ground and enables Q-Sets to be interchanged, to meet varying wattage requirements as the project evolves and user needs change.
The black composite housing is equipped with an extra thick door gasket, perforated drainpipe, two stabilizing bars and an installation kit. The housing unit measures 9.5 inches long, 16.5 inches wide, and 12.5 inches deep. Options include a 315 SS concrete pour ring, a 316 SS diamond plate steel cover, and a heavy-duty, Bronze plate cover.
Q-Set transformer cassettes and Q-Vault housing units are designed, engineered and manufactured in North America.
About Q-Tran, Inc.
In 1993, Q-Tran, Inc. was founded by John Tremaine, an accomplished lighting designer born into a family of lighting entrepreneurs and innovators. He began his career with The Miller Company, a firm acquired in the 1930's by his great grandfather, who founded the National Electric Lamp Association (NELA Park), which became headquarters for General Electric Lamp Headquarters. Ownership of The Miller Co. was passed-on through generations of the Tremaine family, until being sold to Hubbell Lighting in the 1980s.
While operating a high-tech lighting showroom, John Tremaine founded Q-Tran as a source for developing remote transformers that eliminated noise and heat, significantly improving performance to enhance the quality of light. Operating with the mantra "EnlightenedThinking®," his firm pioneered innovative transformers with improved safety, reliability, performance and convenience, and developed the first power supply center designed specifically for low voltage lighting.
Over the years, Gean Tremaine, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, and Jordan Nodelman, Vice President of Operations, would take their place by their father's side, helping to build Q-Tran as a leading designer and manufacturer of high-quality, power supply systems, transformers and components.
