[QUOTE="a1spark, post: 71028, member: 2229"] Trouble with that msb is that Dimmers are used quite extensively in non domestic properties also so Additional RCD protection Reg will not necessarily apply...so they will not be installed ; \ Hi Doc. I can visualise your scenario, some dimmers do have quick blow internal fuses which maybe would help here....they [B]all[/B] have electronic circuits which I think would be quite quickly damaged by the fault to earth and" Blow" thereby clearing the fault [B]by default [/B][Pun]. I Do appeciate the point about RCD ing dimmer circuits as long as not too many installed ......Leakage currents from filter circuits etc ...My general thoughts only here. others maybe well expand on this Note : Early post by me today....First job of the day not till 11.30 am could have stayed in bed a bit longer :z :z [/QUOTE]
