TVS,RELAY QUESTION,AGAIN | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Jerry AOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

Hello all,

I am Not sure if my last blog went through so I will ask again. I have added a picture of the relay I want to use. I would appreciate a sketch or advice how to wire it in as it has 3 connectors. The 10 amp relays will be used around the main power of the track and 5 amp relays will be used for accessories excetera. Please advise.

Also for clarity I have added a picture of the CTC Lionel lock on with the TVS' attached. I plan to hook these up approximately every 10 feet around the layout and also will attach to the UA posts of my postwar ZW transformer.

Middle to transformer, top to track. Bottom is for ground( connect a black wire to transformer common where black wire goes to track)

Yeah that is what I figured. Just wanted to make sure before I blew the layout up. Thank you very much.

That's not a relay. It's a circuit breaker with a 125 Volt pilot lamp.

Here is the data sheet:

I'm sorry, I know it's a circuit breaker wasn't thinking when I wrote the thing obviously.
