Hello Guys!
I need a little bit of help with a dimmer switch.
One of the tenants of the landlord which i work for him took out the switch and installed by himself a dimmer switch. The job was a total failure. headbang .
The landlord asked me to have a look and maybe to wire the dimmer correctly.
I took out the dimmer and i found there 3x 3 core cables.(brown,blue,green/yellow.).I checked and i found just one out of three brown alive.
The guy which messed with the switch told me when he connected the brown and blue from the same cable he had 9 bulbs out of 12 working.I checked and he was right.After that i checked the next cable and i found the brown alive.
i connected myself brown and blue from same cable and another 2 bulbs start working(11 bulbs now working).Checked the last one and brown was alive.connected and the last bulb start working.
I disconnected the circuit and i isolated all the wire and i want to ask you guys what should i do to install the dimmer in the correct way?
The dimmer is a 3gangs dimmer each 250w.
Please ,if this make sense to you,help me with a advice.
Sorry for my English
If you need more details i will post it .
Thank you!!
