    Breaker keeps tripping

    I recently replaced three 3-way dimmers, as well as the 3-way switches at the other end. Everything worked perfectly, and then the breaker began to trip continuously. The dimmers/switches are rated for 600 watts, and I'm well below that. any ideas or suggestions. Thanks.

    Does it trip as soon as you reset the breaker or does it trip only when the switch or dimmer is flipped? Could be a pinched wire or something somewhere as well

      It's a pinched wire. He's grounding out.
