Hot dimmers

Good advice Don. I will have to check our dimmer models. On a similar note, I would like to point out the need for circulation of air through the dimmers. The dimmers are in a 19" rack module. Our dimmers were not mounted in a rack, but placed on a flat surface. This meant that the air vents on the bottom of the dimmers was blocked, and the dimmers would get very hot. I simply placed spacers under the dimmers to allow the air to circulate. Read the instructions when you are installing this type of equipment, and take note of the spacing that is required for proper air circulation. www.meltheco.org.au
