Encapsulated or open wound? Rapidonline might have them under toroidal transformers. (their stock holding is a bit patchy & RS is overpriced)
Or you could try their modern replacement - no idea if they are any good or not:
Oddly after I posted I remembered I had a spare one. I even remembered where it was!!!
So I'll put that in.
What seems to have happened us that electronic ones are now half the price of iron and copper ones,...so no one is making em any more!
Hang on to it.
For LV lighting?
Any electrical wholesaler:-
BUT the electronic ones are half the price these days, and often are dimmable as well.
I prefer totoids when I can get em for lower RFI.
The problem arose because the original ones - Newey and Eyre NLLV50 - are simply not stocked any more.
Copper prices have skyrocketed since I first installed them it seems - then the prices were a fiver for either type: Now toroids have doubled.
Anyway I found a spare so that OK for the next ten years..
They're often under 2 quid for the 20-60W ones...
And you don't need a new MCB if using a few. ;-)
