How many transformers for pool actuators

[Truwolf]

Hi there,

I am in midst of an automation project which will involve a bunch of pool actuators. Right now I have 2 and there will be 5 eventually.

I am trying to find out how many 24V transformers I need to run those 5 actuators. 1? 5?

I tried to find out how many watts an actuator uses, so I can do the math, but I couldn't find out. Probably they won't run all together at a time but for some settings maybe 3 could run at a time.

Side info: using Home Assistant, Enbrighten 40amps, and Sonoff 4ch pro for my automation project. The actuators are Tork TPE24VA.

Thanks,
Truwolf

Welcome to TFP.

Each actuator requires .75 amps at 24V AC.

One 24V AC transformer should be able to power all your actuators.

Good luck on your DIY project.
