Thanks Dan! I greatly appreciate the feedback I receive. I learn every time! Eric

Hi Eric, I have used APC Surge protectors since they were in business back in the early 1980's They've never let me down. Tripplite is another great brand. Dan

Thanks to you, Allan, and Don. I finally learned about it! I know what to expect and to make a wise choice. I'm going to do some research with the different businesses we have here in Canada. I'm

Hi Eric, I confess to not being an expert on surge suppressors. I can tell you what I do know.? If anyone knows more or better than I, I welcome your input. Every time a surge suppressor protects

Eric, Tripp-Lite certainly makes good products. I think surge protectors sold at Best Buy are also good. Just make certain the packages say all three wires are protected. That means there's a surge

Thank you David for your response! I found a Surge Protector from Hammond Manufacturing on the Digikey website. Although I have a lot of knowledge of DCC, there are several features of the Surges

I use the commercial-grade surge protectors from Tripp-Lite. Not low price, as you might guess.

Hi every body ! Consulting the NCE website, for the new Command Station PH5, it is recommended to use a Surge Protector. But, how to determine a GOOD Surge Protector? I definitely don't want to buy

I’m with Jerry M. On this one too. I assumed that the only accessories that would need that much power (12V x 30A) would be multiple boosters. And if a manufacturer puts multiple boosters in the

Sorry, I went off on the wrong tangent. Since this is a wiring for DCC site, I assumed too much. Jerry Michels

Makes sense, thanks Don! dan

Dan, I think it makes sense to fuse the various buses or branches powered by your 30 Amp supply, to protect devices that might accidentally short the 12V, and not have as much as 30 Amps heating up

Don, Ummmm, I'm confused. Where did boosters come into the discussion? The discussion that I have been following has been on a 12VDC buss for powering accessories (not boosters) and using a fuse box

Since a full wave rectifier passes input power of both polarities, including AC, but rectified to be one polarity, you could connect multiple boosters to a single large DC supply. But, most boosters

Seems the more I read in this thread, the more confused I get. We are using 8-amp MeanWell power supplies. Each power supply is connected to two DB220s, so four boosters per power supply. Our

Hi Don, I wasn't very clear in my post; sorry. My question has nothing to do with DCC. It's about sending 12V power to the various industrial districts on my railroad. It's about the 12V power bus

AND… the boosters need more than 12 volts DC input to produce the 12-16 V DCC output to the track DonV

Dan and others… EVERY DCC BOOSTER NEEDS IT’S OWN ISOLATED POWER SUPPLY !! The electrical design of practically every commercial DCC booster starts with a full wave rectifier, which means that

Great info Ken and all. thanks. -- Dave Portland, OR

NCE has an internal supply that reduces the incoming voltage to a track voltage that is adjustable.? If the internal supply were analog than an incoming current meter would be accurate.? It is
