Hi:
While inspecting a home (home inspector) the owner showed me a 12 V circuit under a cabinet. Roughly every two months he has to change the 120 V rated switch to the transformer because it burns down. He also had a dimmer instead of an on-off switch that managed to last 9 months before it, too, burnt donwn.
This is his set up: From the switch that burns down, he has a transformer for the lights under the cabinet. The common of the 120 V switch is common to a GFCI. The GFCI does not appear to be affected, does not trip or burn down.
Any suggestions as to what is going on?
Thank you
