🔌 Enhanced Packard Control Transformer Class Mount for Efficient Power Control Review

My father has had a very old school bell tower or fire bell in his basement for many years which I have had my eye on. I finally found the time to buy a transformer so I can hook it up for him and the trans works fine. The bell is in my garage now, connected to the big red button that we use to announce dance parties with the kids.

Just what I needed after adding a few valves and Wi-Fi T-Stats to my heating system. I was concerned that the factory installed transformer in my taco zone controller couldn't handle all the "accessories" and decided to upgrade it. It took me about a minute to pull out the old one and 30 seconds to install the new one. , and three minutes to connect it.

This transformer is heavier than you might expect. I would say at least a pound. Other than that it's perfect for the high power transformer I need. Its weight is due to the large copper windings. This device is not cheap. I use it to simultaneously press 11 sprinkler valves that are powered by 24 VAC and are 110 feet from this transformer. I use a Raspi Pi and a couple of relays to be as cheap as possible and have a wireless controller wherever I'm local. The Pi has a 24VAC to 5VDC transformer
