Hi guys, I decided to fit a dimmer in place of a switch plate, here is the setup:
Bedroom has 12 spots, split into 6 onto each switch, so a double switch. There are two three core cables, Red, Black with Red sleeve and Earth.
I removed the red/black from the COM and the red from L1 on both sides, I reconnected to the dimmer and pop, the RCB goes.
I refit the old switch, pop it still goes.
I have fitted the Red to the COM and Black/Red to L1 on both sides, I can get one switch to work one row, the other switch blows the RCB again.
Any ideas? Obv I'm doing something wrong but bit frustrated as I am simply trying to get back to where I started.
Thanks all (go easy!)
Jim
