Circuit breaker and tvs question

Install the 10 amp circuit breakers between the ZW  a terminal and what ever

is connected to it. Repeat for the b,c,and d terminals

I would go with an 8 amp breaker unless you really need the power of a 10 amp breaker. 10 amps is a lot of power for a Lionel train. Even the new Z-1000 has a 6 amp breaker in it.

I would concur that 8amps is better than 10. I use 6 ampere breakers on

my layout.  Jim Barrett had a four breaker design in OGR that ought to be considered.

Okay, that's what I did I installed the circuit breaker between a terminal. Please advise if you think my tvs's are installed correctly on the Transformer and track with a CTC lock-on .

Much thanks for your help, will look into an 8 amp circuit breaker. Commissary

Jerry A,

    The 7-10 Amp Resettable Breakers are fine, I would eventually add the full DCS to your layout, to run both TMCC/Legacy & DCS from the DCS Handheld Remote Control, in this manner you get the TVS perfection of the TIU, and you can still use the Cab2 Remote also.  I have been running in this manner for years now, and have hand zero problems.

Thanks Dave. Are my tvs's set up ok?

Jerry,

   The way Dewey explained the TVS with just TMCC/Legacy was to put the TVS breaker directly on to the old ZW Transformers between the A & U Posts and the D & U posts for best results.  Due an OGR Search using TVS and you should see the different talks about how to set it up.  Never had to do it in this particular  manner, because of using the DCS TIU, on my layouts.
