I see that issue of buzzing dimmers has come up many times before on this ng, but I couldn't see anything which would explain this.
I have two separate lighting circuits as follows:
1) MK Logic Plus LV dimmer 60-400W ; 8 x 50W Aurora LV halogens, each with their own individual Aurora transformer (60W rated I think)2) MK Logic Plus LV dimmer 40-240W ; 11 x 20W Aurora LV halogens, divided into groups as: 3-3-3-2; with each group having an Aurora transformer (60W rated)
Now, the thing is that the dimmer for circuit (1) doesn't buzz much (a little, but only if you hold your ear close enough to the switch that it is scalded), while the dimmer for circuit (2) buzzes quite loudly, as do each of the four transformers in the circuit. The buzzing is about the same loudness right down to being almost off, when it vanishes.
Can anyone shed any light on why this should be the case? As far as I can see, the components used are much the same brand/type, loaded to pretty much the same level.
Many thanks!
Mike
