Low-voltage lighting fixtures operate on power levels below 50 volts, requiring transformers to reduce the voltage from the electrical system. These transformers are typically built into the fixtures themselves, making them energy-efficient solutions. However, low-voltage fixtures also have some drawbacks, including the potential for unwanted heat generation by the transformers and the challenge of finding suitable mounting locations.

If you’re considering low-voltage lighting options for your property, it’s a good idea to consult with the experts at Byers Electric to determine their suitability and address any potential issues.

If an appliance keeps blowing a fuse, it’s essential to first check if multiple appliances are connected to the same circuit, as this can cause an overload. If only one appliance is causing the issue, try unplugging it and either replacing it or consulting with Byers Electric to rule out a larger problem.

Another option is to test by connecting a different appliance to the same outlet to see if it also causes the fuse to blow. However, proceed with caution when doing this. If the issue persists, it’s recommended to have a professional home electrician from Byers Electric inspect both the outlet and circuit for any underlying issues.
