Failure of transformer for LV lighting system that was dimmed.

CentraLite dimmers use phase-control dimming.  This is the standard way almost all dimmers operate.  The typical wall dimmer purchased from homestores such as Lowes and Home Depot operate using phase-control dimming.

This should not damage Low-Voltage transformers.  CentraLite Dimmers work with all Magnetic Low-Voltage transformers.  Most Electronic Low-Voltage Transformers work with CentraLite Dimmers.  But certain Electronic Low-Voltage Transformers are not meant to be controlled with phase-control dimmers.  These Electronic Transformers should indicate the type of control required.
