Triac dimmers work by chopping the AC power waveform.

# NEC Article 725: Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 Remote-Control, Signaling, and Power-Limited Circuits
|
||||
|
||||
## Part I. General
|
||||
|
||||
### 725.1 Scope.
|
||||
|
||||
This article covers remote-control, signaling, and power-limited circuits that are not an integral part of a device or of utilization equipment.
|
||||
|
||||
Informational Note:
|
||||
The circuits described herein are characterized by usage and electrical power limitations that differentiate them from electric light and power circuits; therefore, alternative requirements to those of Chapters 1 through 4 are given with regard to minimum wire sizes, ampacity adjustment and correction factors, overcurrent protection, insulation requirements, and wiring methods and
|
||||
materials.
|
||||
|
||||
### 725.2 Definitions.
|
||||
|
||||
The definitions in this section shall apply only within this article.
|
||||
|
||||
## Part III. Class 2 and Class 3 Circuits
|
||||
|
||||
