I have to install a transformer for low voltage landscape lighting tomorrow. The transformer is WAC 9150-trn-ss. The company specified the proper dimmer to be used with this transformer is Lutron DVLV-600P-WH.
The dimmer needs to be wired on the "primary" side.
After receiving the transformer today I realized that it plugs in.
I know that it is against NEC code to dim a regular outlet, and cutting the cord from WAC seems to be what I have to do in the next two scenarios, which I worry will eliminate its UL listing, and or void any WAC Warrenties.
I was thinking of
1. Cutting the plug off, and getting a new plug to use with the cord that is different than a regular outlet, and an outlet to match that plug; or
2. Cutting off the end of the plug and hardwiring within a junction box.
This will be mounted indoors, on a utility wall, in a garage.
Has anyone had any experience with this?
Does anyone have any other ideas how how I would wire this to dim while while preserving UL listing and cord from WAC, and is still within NEC code?
I am in an area that is following 2014 NEC Code at this time.
