Reply to "DREU reverse unit wiring connections for AC motor"

Warning! The DREU reverse boards are not built to handle power requirements of a Pulmor motor.  As already noted, they get very hot to the point they melt the solder on the board. A Pulmore motor takes 1-11/2 amps each, and that board cannot handle 3 amps.

FWIW: after some extensive research on the Lionel parts web site, 691-ACMC-103, is listed as being used in multiple 2 universal motor loks. Specifically, a number of F3’s and a couple of GG-1’s.  When I saw them listed for the GG-1’s, I started to have doubts. (Past experience with GG-1’s and ERU’s prompt me to say that) Chuck, I agree with you.  However, the 691-ACMC-103 is also listed as being used in a number of single universal motor units. I would think this ERU could handle a single universal motor. Or, Chuck, do you speak from experience?
