| Title: |
Lighting Control System Dimmer Module with Plug-In Electrical Contacts |
| Abstract: |
A plug-in dimmer module for providing controlled power to one or more
lighting fixtures or groups of fixtures. The dimmer module includes a
housing with one or more circuit breakers located at one end, a power
device with one or more dimmer circuits located at an opposite end, and
one or more toroidal chokes located in a middle section. The power device
includes built-in contacts for output power to the lighting fixture(s) and
for control and sensor signals, and the dimmer module is adapted to plug
directly into a slot in a rack, to engage the contacts. The components of
the dimmer module are laid out efficiently within the housing, with
minimal wastage of space and without the need for extraneous electrical
conductors.
