Thanks John,I'll have to play around with this circuit.Keith

Thanks John,I had understood how SCR's chop the waveform, but did not realize that transformers created the harmonics/resonate/ringing problem. This helped me understand it greatly.So I have two follow-up questions:1: Is there a cheap and safe way to convert SCR dimmers from 120 volts AC...

Hi Folks,I was just curious if anyone would be willing to explain or point me in the right direction for more information about how low voltage transformers work with standard 120v SCR dimming. I've used them for silly props with spliced x-mas lights without a problem, but am interested in...
