I am in the process of rebuilding a Lionel ZW 275 watt transformer. I have collected detailed instructions on how to disassemble, remove handles, replace carbon rollers and general checkout but have not found details on replacing the circuit breaker.

 

I have looked online and really have not found any details on the process. Can someone provide instructions or a link where I can read up on this?

 

Thanks!

You may want to consider adding circuit breakers to the output terminals of the post war Lionel ZW, as the one from the factory only covers the common side, and won't trip that easy. Use 7 or 8 amp breakers from Mouser Electronics and add these right after the terminals marked A B C or D. Also won't hurt to add some TVS protection as well, again very affordable from Mouser Electronics.
