@bmoran4 posted:Obviously, placing the TVS diodes across the track power feeds in the locomotive will help with spikes coming from the track, but I think @SteveH raises an interesting question about the motors in the locomotive themselves inducing transients back trough the driver circuitry (say an ACDR)
I'm sure there's more circuit protection that could have been designed internally for various boards, but I think maybe that's carrying it a bit too far. I didn't think the object of the exercise is to redesign all the TMCC/Legacy/DCS boards for maximum transient protection, that would be a huge job!
