[QUOTE="the doctor, post: 70995, member: 75"] good evening members, something for you to ponder...... a circuits maximum Zs is based upon a 230V scenario.... so if you have your lounge lights dimmed to a voltage of say 80V and then say a rodent chews through a dimmed cable then you have..... 1 reduced voltage 2 fault to earth 3 reduced earth fault current 4 disconnection times out the window 5 said house burns i know it is a long shot, but perfectly feasibleX( so in theory, my theory, a circuit containing dimmers should be on rcd fire protection no matter what the mechanical protection on any install:coat [/QUOTE]
