    With my Home Depot system I put in 15 years ago, I did a looped system, off the transformer terminal, run to furthest point and then back to the terminal block (Maintaining polarity). As I am preparing for a new volt system does anyone install using this method?

    Hey Eric,

    With low-voltage AC, there is no polarity to account for. So, you would not need to loop your setup if using one of our systems.

    Thank you Evan, the reason I looped ( from the transformer back to the transformer) is because the voltage drop is equal regardless where on the line it is. The furthest fixture is equal to the closest fixture
