sensor de cortocircuito Explanation: The most common malfunction in solid state dimmers is a failed thyristor (triac or SCR). They can either "fail on", in which the light cannot be turned off, of "fail off", in which the light cannot be turned on. A "failed off" condition also may cause a resistor on the circuit board to burn. This failure is almost always caused by a short in the load it controls. The short can be in the cable, in the connectors, in the light fixture, or in the bulb itself. Although the dimmer circuit breaker or fuse will open, it may not be fast enough to save the thyristor and the thyristor will need to be replaced. Please check the load: plug it into a known good wall outlet before plugging it into other dimming channels. Caution, a short in the load may trip a building breaker.
