Increase power on Cw40 lionel | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Hello,

I have in stock a Cw40 transformer, it works good.

And I have cw80 broken only in spare parts. The transformer in cw80 is OK.

So I have taken the transformer from the Cw80 to put on the cw40 to increase the power.

But when I use it, the protection (green led flickering), is not good calibrated, after 2amps consummation, the green Led is flickering.

Which element must I have to change to adapt the protection to the new transformer? ( resistor or something else?)

Thanks a lot

I think you should invest in another transformer.

Yes John , it's the easiest solution, but I want to take up the challenge, I have found the wiring diagram.

I'm sure an electrician could help me and tell which composant I need to change to adapt the overload protection to the new transformer.
