Using TMCC with TVS Diodes

keyroutekenOGR Forum Member

Hi Everybody-- I was asking a lot of things on the TMCC Forum yesterday. Today, on the Electrical Forum, I need to know the answer to this: First, I use a ZW, KW and LW transformer on my layout, still-a-building !

I'm in the process to learn about the advantages of TMCC in running the railroad. Are there ANY concerns I should worry about, when installing an older TMCC CAB-1 system, when the layout already is equipped with Mouser TVS diodes ? Will the TVS Diodes cause the TMCC to malfunction or NO ??

The TVS diodes will have no effect on TMCC or DCS unless they fail shorted, then you'll trip the breaker.
