would like to know if 24 circuit dimmer rack requires neutral for each circuit. any info would be helpful. thanks! marc

I have copied the following expert from our Dimmer rack installation manual for you. We do require separate neutrals with a few exception. If you have a special scenario I would recommend you contact ETC Technical services at 608-831-4116.
A two-wire circuit with separate hot and neutral conductors is required for
every branch circuit that will be connected to the dimmer rack. Shared neutral
(multiwire) branch circuit arrangements are not recommended for phase-control
dimming systems due to harmonics and potentially elevated neutral currents in a
shared neutral arrangement.
For retrofit installations where shared neutral circuits are already installed, or track
lighting installations where the track has a shared neutral, consult ETC Technical
Services for rack installation guidelines.
Thanks
