    Is the ~ symbol the same as C?

    Yes, the black wire has got a red marking on it. I connected it black to L1, red to squiggly thing and earth, stood well back and re-set the trip and all was ok, no instant trip, smoke or flames. The dimmer works ok. We had our wiring checked and a new consumer board installed 11 months ago...
