Reply to "How much does voltage drop affect TNCC"

FWIW:

 

I run 14ga bus and feeders on my 10'x16' layout. Each of my 2 main loops has just 4 pairs of feeders fairly evenly spaced at roughly 10' apart.

 

The transformer( 180w brick) is closer to one side of the layout than the other, some of my wire runs are as long as 12'. Voltage at the output side of my TPC is the same as anywhere on the track.

 

Lionel recommends a minimum of 14ga wire when wiring a TPC to the track so thats what I did.

 

IMO 14 ga is big enough without being overkill. I am very pleased with the results.
