Power Systems
At shows, we break our
layout/loop into three blocks and power each block with a custom designed power
box. Each power box has a Digitrax 8 amp DB200 booster, a Digitrax PM42 to
split the DCC power to the Red, Yellow, Blue and Green lines, two UP-5 loconet
interconnects, and two Aristo-Craft DC analog power receivers and antennas that
receive signals from our Aristo-Craft wireless remote throttles. Each box is
powered by a Digitrax 2012 20-amp power supply that feeds the Digitrax and the
Aristo-Craft units. Each PM42s is powered by 12V wall wart.
All of the
NEONS‘
modules are wired with 12 gauge power bus wires and Anderson 30-amp Power-Pole
connecters, thereby reducing the power loss due to resistance.
