Motorised dimmers for A.C. tungsten lighting loads are designed to be connected in series with the phase supply to a distribution board, and therefore the only fuse fitted is to protect the control circuit. Supplied internally wired and with metal covers. State type ref., circuit wattage and voltage when ordering.
Three phase models can be used for three separate sub-circuits single phase.

Up-Down-Stop Variable Load (Table 3)
Up down stop control of variable load transformer dimmers which have been specially designed to control A.C. tungsten lighting. 220/250 volt only.
Dimmers open circuit at lower limit of travel.
| Type | Phases | kW per phase |
