Circuit Breaker Recommendations? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

hi!

For a traditional layout - ZW powered - what would people recommend for a modern circuit breaker to go in between the transformer and track? My main goal is perhaps something that pops faster than the ZW component.

thank you

Search is your friend… There are many threads relating to this topic. Here’s one of the latest. Fast circuit breakers (renamed for brevity)

@TedW Thanks for the plug

@CPF3 Here's another good Thread that talks more about Transient Voltage Suppressor Diodes (not Breakers) and how these TVS diodes work in conjunction with the AirPax "Instant" breakers (discussed more in the other recommended thread) to help protect the electronics in modern trains. I'd suggest reading both threads.
