Electronic Low-Voltage dimmers are meant to be used with low-voltage lights that use an electronic transformer.

A scored section along each side of the mounting plate/fin designed to be removed to facilitate ganging. When removing fins on a dimmer derating occurs, reducing the amount of usable wattage.

Yes.  Many dimmers have the capabilty to do multi-location dimmering.  This is commonly refered to as 3 way application or multi-location dimming.

The first step is to determine what type of transformer is in the lighting fixture. Due to the fact that there are different characteristics of the two transformer types; they require special dimming considerations. For example: A low voltage fixture with a magnetic transformer requires a magnetic low voltage dimmer.  The same will be true for Electronic Low Voltage, Florescent, etc.Add the total wattage for the bulbs that will be used by this dimmer.  This is known as the 'load'. ...

When dimmers are in the same wallbox, they are considered "ganged". To install ganged dimmers, simply remove the dimmer side sections from the heat sink (side tabs). The maximum wattage capacity for each dimmer is reduced (derated) so that the dimmer does not overheat.
