Wiring A Zw transformer through TUI to Lionel standard track to run DCC and Conventional control

MatOGR Forum Member

I have a rebuilt ZW transformer going to a TUI unit and the to a track block aeventually to lionel standard O gauge track. I understand tha the ZW probably does not havefuses in it to protect transformer a TUI so I have installed Eaton Miniature Circuit Breakers (p/n FAZ-C3/1-SP) between the transformer and the TUI. The circuit breakers are rated at 3A C 15kA 1 pol. Hive one for each lead on the transformer. When I turn on the power it only takes a few seconds to throw the breaker. Is thecircuit breaker to small or do I have other track problems. I have found that I have no resistance in the track when checking for continuity. Please help me resolve my situation by return postings on the forum. Thanks.
