BRANCHES
ONE LAST CHECK
Now that you’ve planned the routing of the main cables, you can consider branches and extension cords. The CC-2 cable connector makes it easy to make a branch from one of the main cables, so that all of the fixtures can be reached. The extension cords are used to provide power to fixtures that are difficult to reach with a main cable. All of the cables in your cable plan can end anywhere in the yard and do not have to form a closed system.
You have now drawn up a detailed cable plan, including any branches and extension cords. It is important to check that the transformer and individual cables are not overloaded. To do so, add up all of the VA values of the fixtures to make sure the total is not higher than the VA value of your transformer. We also recommend dividing the voltage in your lighting plan as evenly as possible among the cables.
