Adding More Power...
|
|
Separating your layout into several independent
power circuits greatly
improves its reliability and expansion potential, while also
making it safer and easier to troubleshoot when necessary.
You can divide your layout based on power consumption, type of
operations (trains or accessories), or a combination of both. Each
circuit then receives power from its own digital booster and
transformer. Certain accessories such as turnout lanterns, signal lamps
and lighting can be directly powered by a standard 16VAC accessory
transformer instead of digital power.
At MZE, we recommend running all of your
digital accessory decoders on a separate circuit from train operations.
A dedicated accessory booster provides more reliable operation since it
is not burdened by the electrical load of multiple trains, and can
devote its full power to supplying the large switching currents required
by accessories. The Power 2 is ideal as a digital accessory booster or
for powering a lower capacity train circuit (2-3 trains). The
high-output Power 3 is intended for powering 4-5 trains, and can be
easily connected to other Power 3 or Märklin boosters to form multiple
power blocks on large layouts. Please
see the descriptions and online manuals listed below for more information on MZE's power products.
You can also learn more about boosters and expanding your layout's
digital power in our
"How-To" articles. |

"Power 2"
Booster 63200
|
|
The Power 2 is a
multi-protocol
digital booster for extending the power capacity of your layout.
When used together with Intellibox, the Power 2 can supply
Märklin Motorola
and NMRA DCC commands. The Power 2 is also
suitable for use with Märklin Digital control systems as a
replacement for 6015 or 6017 boosters. Includes a 28cm
LocoNet cable for connection to another Power 2. Output current
rating of 2A, approximately 40VA power output. Adjustable
output voltage (15-20V). Each Power 2
requires its own separate transformer (see Märklin 60055 below).
Made in Germany by Uhlenbrock.

"Power 3"
Booster 65600
|
|
The Power 3 is a
multi-protocol
digital booster for extending the power capacity of your layout.
When used together with the Intellibox, the Power 3 can supply
Märklin Motorola, NMRA DCC, and
TRIX Selectrix commands. The Power 3 is also
suitable for use with Märklin Digital control systems as a
replacement for 6015 or 6017 boosters. Connects to the control system
with the supplied 5-conductor
flat ribbon cable. Output current
rating of 3A, approximately 60VA power output. Adjustable
output voltage (12-20V). Each Power 3
requires its own separate transformer (see Märklin 60055 below).
