I have 2 mw 240 "b" versions for my light. I wanna know if I can hook up the dimming leads with like a wago and only hook up one pot?

If I didn't hook them up together and ran 2 pots would it be ok even if they are hooked up to the same a.c. cord?

I'm still reading through the electronics textbooks I was given and haven't come across this sort of stuff yet, and I really appreciate any help!

As long as both pots are rated for the amperage & wattage I don't see an issue running duals,I've installed lots of variable position pots in lighting systems & never had an issue running dual pots .

Don't know about the single pot.. but you can hook them to the same a.c. cord...

50K is correct value for 2 drivers. Don't worry about ratings as any will suffice.

You can run multiple drivers from the same AC line no matter how many pots. You might experience problems, though, when using more drivers per circuit breaker than this table suggests.

I just finished a build with 2 meanwell 240 b version drivers and I hooked them up to one 50k pot and a 5k resistor. Works perfectly. If you zoom in you can see they are both connected to wago's.
