3-Phase Track
Are you looking for a 3-Phase Track? Then you have come to the right place at MeinLED . We are often asked where the name 3-phase comes from and what it actually means. In a 3-phase track system, there are three separate conductors. These can be switched and dimmed independently of each other. A track is powered directly by 220V (mains electricity). A track system is the most common lighting solution in shops, the hospitality industry, showrooms, museums, etc.
Today,
3-phase phase tracklighting is very popular. With their stylish and industrial design, these track systems are a true eyecatcher, even in your home. This track system is also frequently installed in kitchens or living rooms; thanks to the tiltable and adjustable
3-phasephase tracksspots , you can direct the light in any desired direction.
In our range you will find a wide selection of 3-Phase Track Lighting. These are available in black and white and can be cut to size, ensuring you always have the right length.
Installation of 3-Phase Track Lighting
You can create your track system using 3-phase tracks. The tracks can be connected end-to-end using 3-phase accessories, allowing you to create any desired shape in this simple and easy-to-install system. With the accessories, you can extend the track, make a corner, or feed power to the middle of a track, among other options.
In short: with a combination of 3-phase tracks and accessories, you can create your own custom track system.
How does an LED 3-phase track light system work?
In practice, every lamp connected to the 3-phase tracks

uses only one phase. Each track light or adapter features a switch to set which phase this is (1, 2, or 3). The position of the track adapter corresponds to the connected phase. For example, if you set a number of spotlights to position 2, these track lights will be switched on or off simultaneously using the switch connected to the track.
This allows you to connect a switch or dimmer to the track system per phase/group. Would you like to dim lamps? It is important that you connect only the same type of fixtures to a single group. You can then dim these evenly using a 220-volt dimmer.
What should you pay attention to when purchasing LED 3-phase track lighting?
Do you want to create a longer track with multiple corners and junctions? It can sometimes be difficult to order the right 3-phase accessories.
When creating a shape, or circuit, with 3-phase track lighting, you will need multiple 3-phase connectors. Within the 3-phase connectors, there is a circuit through which the electricity flows. This is always indicated on our website by the red wire. When using multiple connectors, the red wire of the different connectors must align with each other. If this is not done, the electrical circuit is incomplete and the track lights will not light up. The circuit can therefore be broken if you use the wrong connector. The image below shows an example of a track system with its corresponding electrical circuit.
The image above shows the electrical circuit of a rail system. This red wire can be on the outside (left) or inside (right) of a connector. Each product indicates how it is powered.
Power connectors are used at the start of your 3-phase lighting tracks to supply the tracks with mains power. These power connectors are available in Left and Right.
PLEASE NOTE!: When starting with a 3-phase power connector LEFT, you must ensure that you connect a 3-phase L connector OUTSIDE to it, otherwise, the red wire will be broken and the next track will not receive power.
Installation of LED 3-Phase Lighting Track
You can mount the tracks flush against the ceiling or suspend them at a desired height. The 3-phase tracks can be suspended using a
pendulum set/cable system. The tracks can be screwed directly to the ceiling using the included screws and plugs. You always need two connectors to power your track and finish it neatly:
-
Power connector : For connecting the power supply.
-
End cap: For safely and neatly finishing the 3-phase tracks.
