NUVO Lighting TP218 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the NUVO TP218 canopy power feed actually do on a track run?
The TP218 is the piece that brings 120V line power into a track section from an electrical junction box in the ceiling. It mounts over the box and its canopy covers the opening, so the track itself carries no visible wiring at the feed point. It is wired for reverse polarity, meaning the polarity orientation of the track it feeds is flipped compared to a standard feed, so the track must be installed in the matching orientation.
2) Can I use the TP218 power feed outdoors or in a damp location like a covered patio or bathroom?
No. The TP218 is rated for indoor use in dry locations only. Covered exterior soffits, patios, bath areas over a tub or shower, and anywhere subject to condensation need a damp or wet rated feed instead. For a commercial dry interior, it is listed cETLus.
3) What is the difference between a reverse polarity feed like the TP218 and a standard polarity track feed?
Polarity determines which side of the track carries the hot conductor, and it decides which way the track heads seat. A reverse polarity feed such as the TP218 flips that orientation relative to a standard feed. If your track run and fixtures are set up for standard polarity, this feed will have the track reading backwards and the heads will not index correctly. Match the feed to the polarity of the track system already installed.
4) Is the TP218 a line voltage feed, or does it work with low voltage track?
It is a 120V line voltage component. It feeds standard line voltage track directly from the building circuit and contains no transformer, so it is not the part for a 12V or 24V low voltage track system. Low voltage track needs a feed with an integral transformer or a remote power supply.
5) I need the track feed to match white track and white ceiling. What finish is the TP218?
White, and it is the only finish this feed is built in. That matches white track sections and blends into a white painted ceiling. For black or brushed nickel track, you would need the feed in the corresponding finish rather than this one.
6) Does the TP218 power feed mount to the ceiling box on its own, or do I need the track up first?
The feed carries the load at the box, not the track. It anchors to the ceiling outlet box and the track section connects into it. At 0.38 lbs the feed itself is negligible weight, but the track run and the heads still need their own ceiling supports per the track manufacturer's spacing. Do not rely on the feed canopy to hold a run of track.
7) Is the TP218 approved for commercial and institutional installations?
It carries a cETLus safety listing, which is the recognized US and Canadian listing inspectors look for on line voltage track components. Keep it in dry indoor spaces such as offices, retail sales floors, corridors, and lobbies, since that is the location rating it holds.
