Electronic fuse to protect your cabling Locomotive burned down?
This can happen very quickly. Again and again, short circuits on the garden track lead to drastic fault currents in the range of several amperes. When crossing polarized turnouts, a short circuit occurs when touching the crossing track profile if the turnout is set incorrectly.
A short moment is enough and the wiring of a twin-engine locomotive burns down!
Such effects also occur with the traction coupling (2 connected locomotives) and with chaining of the sockets for car lighting.
To protect your valuable locomotive model from damage caused by a short circuit until the entire locomotive burns down, there is now the electronic fuse.
If currents greater than 4 amps flow in the locomotive model, the power supply is automatically interrupted.
The fuse resets itself afterwards!
