SteveH:

Thanks so much for all of this information. I am replacing my "fast blow fuses" with the Airpax Snapac instant trip units you identified.

So far I replaced 5 fuses and when testing found them to be very fast! My (brick) transformers are the Lionel 135 Watt units which is why I installed the quick blow fuses.

I considered replacing the 135 Watt bricks with 180 Watt bricks to have the faster breaker as many have attested to here on the Forum. Since I didn't need the extra power it made perfect sense to install the Airpax Snapac instant trip breakers for less hassle and cost.

To say the least, it has been quite annoying to replace a blown fuse after a derailment, particularly when guests were visiting. Now, re-setting a breaker is really a "snap"!

Best regards,

Stan
