RJR, this string is very confusing to me, but your comment seems to be at my level. Let me tell you where I’m coming from
in a previous chain I posted questions about my Christmas trains - two trains circling the tree on two circles of fastrack powered by my ZW. One of the power lines and the carpet melted presumably because of my grand children’s derailments. I replaced the badly worn power lines with 16 gauge for the remainder of the season I also decided to add some precautions to the permanent layout I’m building using tubular track, my ZW, and and a 1032.
So, I decided some kind of fuses or circuit breaker. Your answer to my question was unexpected and simple if I understand it. Put a circuit breaker on the common bus - U on the ZW. I had assumed it would be a 10 amp breaker on terminals A, B, & D for the three trains and a lower amp breaker for C. Tell me if there’s anything right about that.
with the 1032 I am using variable power terminals U & B for the trolley. (U to the center rail). Fixed power from B & C powers some accessories on the trolley lines and is converted to DC for a timer relay to control the stops & starts on the trolley line.
where do the circuit breakers go?
