T
TRANSFORMER
A component that will convert from one AC voltage to another. The main use
of a transfromer in lighting is converting the mains voltage of 220-240
volts down to the 5-12v required by most electronic equipment or 12-24 volts
used by many lamps.
TRIAC
A Triac is an electronic switch. It is the main switching component that
handles the power control of all of Ryger's Powered controllers. The triac
will allow small control voltages and currents to switch very large voltages
and currents and so is ideally suited to control power from microprocessors
and more delicate electronics.
TRUSSING
A Steel or aluminum frame work that is designed to support staging and
lighting. usually supplied in a modular form.
TUNGSTEN HALOGEN LAMP
Lamp filled with a halogen gas that burns at a high temperature, producing a
whiter light output over incandescent lamps
TWO-FER ADAPTER

THREE-FER
A circuiting device which allows three lighting instruments to be joined
into one cable or circuit.
TIE-IN
The process of connecting dimmer rack feeder cable to a company switch or
power supply.
TIE-IN SET
A set of feeder cables or other necessary connecting devices needed to
tie-in a dimmer rack. A standard tie-in set includes a ground, neutral, and
three hot cables with bare-ends in one end for connection at the company
switch or disconnect panel.
TRIANGLE TRUSS
A triangular shaped truss such as that used for radio towers. Triangle truss
has the disadvantage over box truss that instrumentation must be struck from
the truss before it can be loaded into a truck.
TRUSS
A steel or aluminum structure used for rigging stage lighting instruments,
scenery, or other equipment for temporary use.
