PPB102 is a phase dimmer. It can select the forward-cut or reverse-cut function by means of a dip switch, typically works with standard incandescent loads because these loads are resistive and can handle the waveform modifications created by phase cutting. However, when it comes to Electronic Low-Voltage (ELV) transformers, the compatibility is more complex.
ELV transformers are designed to work with electronic dimmers, specifically leading-edge or trailing-edge dimmers, depending on the transformer design. Forward-cut dimmer may not be compatible with ELV transformers because they can cause flickering, buzzing, or improper operation. ELV transformers usually require reverse-cut dimmers, which are better suited for their electronic nature.
If you intend to use PPB102 with an ELV transformer and low-voltage incandescent loads, ensure PPB102 is in the reverse-cut function mode. Always check the compatibility of the PPB102 with the transformer and load to avoid damage or improper performance.
