[QUOTE="daza, post: 147657, member: 4990"] Hello, We have fitted a torodial transformer rated at 300W. This is running a track system of 5x 50W 12v lamps. It is on a lighting circuit protected by a 10A type C MCB. The problem we have is that it has blown up 2x 400W dimmer switches to date, the second one lasting only a few turns on & off. We have contacted the tech dept of the manufacturer / supplier & they say a 400W dimmer should be ok. I am aware of the high start up current. Should we be looking to install a 1000w dimmer switch or change to a normal 10A rated switch? The light was supplied by the customer. What do you recomend? have you come across a similar problem? Many thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
