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
