ThinkGrow TDC-120 7 ft Splitter Power Cord | 120V NEMA 5-15, Model One

ThinkGrow TDC-120 Feeds Model One Drivers From a Standard Outlet

Every group of Model One drivers needs one feed cord to bring in power. The TDC-120 is that cord for rooms running on 120 volts. It ends in a NEMA 5-15 plug, the standard three-prong outlet found in most buildings. The cord is 7 ft (2.1 m) long, with 18 AWG conductors rated to 10A. At the driver end it splits into a power lead and a control connection. The power lead plugs into the input of the first driver in the group. The control branch links to a TrolMaster controller with an ECS-9 cable for dimming and scheduling. The manual lists the cord at 0.71 lbs. It is rated for rooms from 32 to 104°F. No feed cord ships with the Model One drivers or bars, so each group needs one ordered separately.

Planning a Model One Group on a 120V Splitter Power Cord

The manual allows up to 11 drivers on one feed cord at this voltage. That is the lowest count of any supply voltage, so larger rooms often move to 240V or 277V feeds. Mount the drivers first, alternating direction so the male and female leads line up. Link neighboring drivers with TDC-2, TDC-3 or TDC-4 daisy-chain cords. Connect the splitter head to the first driver's input port. Run an ECS-9 from the control branch to the controller if the group will be dimmed. Plug into the outlet last, once every driver and bar is seated. Check that the circuit can carry the combined load of every driver on it. The TDC-240 and TDC-277 are the matching cords for higher-voltage circuits. The Model One manual attached below shows the complete wiring layout.
