If transformer connected to kitchen lights is no longer working, would this stop other lights working?
Anonymous user 03/03/2024 - 3.00 PM
My downstairs lights went off, the trip didn't work. I switched the trip off then put it back on. My garage lights came back on, these are connected to my downstairs circuit, all the other lights are still off. I have had trouble with my kitchen lights, the lights are connected to a transformer. If the transformer is no longer working would this still stop other lights working as well as the kitchen lights, or should only the kitchen lights be off if the transformer is no longer working? Ian

No it would only affect the lights it's supplying.

It sounds like you have a loose connection somewhere, as lights in other rooms should still be working as the transformer will only feed the kitchen lights. Could be a broken neutral conductor? Only way to tell really is to carry out some tests with a continuity tester.

Hi, the transformer should only feed the 12v Lights that are connected to it, possibly MR16’s. If only lights further on in the circuit, after the kitchen are not working, I would say that this has been caused by a loose connection either at the transformer connection or at a previous light possibly, the garage light meaning that there is possibly nothing wrong with the transformer after all. I would suggest consulting a qualified electrician who would be happy to assist with this.. ‘If you don’t want to be in the dark, contact your local spark’

No your transformer would only effect the low voltage lights fed from it. The power would then continue to the next light on the circuit

Further investigation would be required to answer this question, but essentially your transformer would only effect the low voltage lights fed from it. The power would then continue to the next light on the circuit
