[QUOTE="Mike Caldwell, post: 5033, member: 170"] I should have posted this here rather than in "Install" in the first place! At an install where I put in the sound system their lighting system causes buzz in portions of the system when dimmed. Pin one lifts, isolation transformers do not help at all. When checking all the outlets for proper wiring I noticed a considerable amount of buzz coming from the the main breaker panel and the sub panel feeding the lighting circuits. When the lights are full up there is no buzz at the breaker panels or in the system. They have four NSI dimmer packs all on separate circuits. The building was a machine shop and has a three phase power service, not sure how the lighting circuits are divided between the phases. Any ideas! [/QUOTE]
