Ganging & Derating

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.


Customer ganging for Architectural style controls
For architectural style dimmers and switches, it is possible to retain the maximum capacity of dimmers in multi-gang applications via custom architectural multi-gang. For more information on this, please see the Planning a Customer Architectural Multi-Gang section.
