Massoth 8242070 eMOTION Electronic Fuse (2 per pack)
Be sure your valuable locomotive model is protected from damage caused by a
short circuit. Instead of burning up the main board on your entire locomotive, Massoth now makes these electronic fuses (8242070). If currents flow larger than 4 amps in
the locomotive model, the power supply is automatically interrupted. A
good insurance for every garden railway model and certainly a worthwhile
investment! (2/Pack)
A short circuit can happen very quickly and can happen again and again. Short circuits on the
garden railway lead to drastic fault currents in the area of several
amps. When driving over polarized switches, a short circuit occurs when
the switch is set incorrectly by touching the intersecting track
profile. In a very short period of time, the wiring of a locomotive can be fried.
Such effects can also occur during traction coupling (2 connected locomotives) and when the sockets for car lighting are chained.
If current flow is greater than 4 amps in the locomotive, the power supply is automatically interrupted and the fuse will reset itself.
A good insurance for every garden railway model and certainly a worthwhile investment!
The following drawing shows you what can happen without this protection- In this example, the locomotive travels on a wrongly set polarized switch.
Here, a short-circuit current flows unhindered from transmission 1
to transmission 2, which can certainly destroy your wiring. That can
lead to this in the worst case scenario
So protect your locomotive from cable fire with these little electronics. Power supply: AC/DC/DCC max. 30V Switch-off current: approx. 4 A
