Ganging & Derating

Standard multi-gang
Ganging is the side-by-side mounting of 2 or more dimmers or accessory devices under a multi-gang wallplate.Standard ganging will require fins to be removed from the dimmers for proper spacing, and that may result in derating or a reduction in the dimmer’s maximum capacity rating.
