Opticsguy,
Again I recommend purchasing Barrys DCS companion book Vol 2 and the OGR Video guide to DCS, they both explain how to set up your transformer for DCS running.
Simply put, you must have 10 Amp breakers or fuses between any ZW or KW transformer, and your DCS TIU, to safe guard your TIU. The old ZW & KW slow blowing circut breaker, will allow the old transformer to fry your TIU, if something goes wrong. Rich Melvin does a great job of explaining all this on the DCS Video Guide, both Barrys book and the OGR Video Guide will save you a lot of time, and money, both are well worth the money expened to purchase them.
I know we were also talking about the breakers use, in a slightly different way here in this thread, all this is understandable once you read and view the Video, it is not really complex at all.
The technical information in both these formats is just outstanding. Before you start building your DCS layout read and watch these two instructional
guides, they save a lot of time.
