In an attempt to "fix" issues related to DCS operation in our modular club's yard, I ended up putting four Susan Deets filters in parallel. The notion if one is good, more is better doesn't hold up on this application.
Capacitors in parallel, the capacitance is the sum of the components.
Parallel resistors is:
I inadvertently introduced Conductance into the problem. Big oops on my part.
A coworker (correctly) pointed out that what I ended up with from my ill conceived exercise was 0.4 uf / 55.25 ohms. Is that enough to flash the lights on a Z4000? I dunno, but that's the best explanation I have at this point.
Just for giggles, I am going to go back and try one on the longest siding. Wish me luck.
