FAQs
What is the primary function of this transformer?
This Legrand 044214 is specifically designed as a safety transformer to reduce 230V AC to 24V AC, ensuring electrical safety in relevant applications.
What is the maximum power this transformer can supply?
The transformer has a capacity of 160VA (Volt-Amperes) for the secondary (24V) output.
Can this transformer be used for any voltage conversion?
No, it is specifically designed as a safety transformer with a fixed 230V input and 24V output. It is not intended for general-purpose power conversion or different voltage combinations.
How is the transformer mounted?
It can be mounted on standard DIN rails. It fits 7.5mm DIN rails directly or 15mm DIN rails with the use of mounting plates.
What does the electrostatic screen do?
The electrostatic screen provides an additional layer of electrical isolation and protection, enhancing the safety of the transformer and the connected circuit.
What safety standards does this transformer comply with?
This transformer conforms to the EC standard EN 61558-2-6.
How do I connect the zero and ground wires?
The transformer includes a coupling strip that allows for quick and secure connections between the zero and ground lines on the secondary side.
Troubleshooting
No output voltage
Verify that the primary 230V input is correctly connected and live. Check that the output connections are secure and that the transformer has not been overloaded beyond its 160VA rating.
Overheating
Ensure the transformer is adequately ventilated and not installed in an enclosed space without airflow. Check if the load connected to the 24V output exceeds the 160VA capacity.
Intermittent power
Inspect all wiring connections, both primary and secondary, for looseness or damage. Ensure the DIN rail mounting is secure.

- VA rating of 160VA may be insufficient for high-power applications.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the power source is disconnected before installation.
- Mount the transformer on a standard DIN rail (7.5mm or 15mm) using the appropriate mounting method.
- Connect the 230V primary voltage to the designated terminals.
- Connect the 24V secondary circuit to the output terminals.
- Utilize the included coupling strip for secure connections between the zero and ground lines.
Compatibility:
- This transformer is designed to accept 230V AC input and provide 24V AC output.
- It is compatible with standard DIN rail mounting systems.
- It is intended for use in safety circuits as per EN 61558-2-6.
Care:
- Keep the transformer clean and free from dust and debris.
- Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to prevent overheating.
- Regularly inspect wiring connections for tightness and signs of wear.
- Do not attempt to open or repair the transformer; consult a qualified electrician for any issues.
