Hi guys looking for some help, seems I lost my variable output going to the track , I have power going in nothing coming out also I did have a bit of a derailment and things did spark everything was running before the detail and now no power, is it a internal fuze ?the unit has power going in

First thing to check is obviously the fuse, especially if you don't have fast acting circuit protection on the input of the TIU channel. I've never lost a fuse on my layout, I have the Lionel PowerHouse 180 with an electronic breaker. However, I know folks that have things like the Z-1000 brick on the layout and they kill the 20A fuse regularly.
Hi John yes I checked the fuze on the transformer all good, on that particular tiu I'm using a older Lionel ZW type transformer and I do have a inline fuze that's not an issue , I have power going in and nothing coming out, I am aware of the internal fuze's in the tiu have not checked that also I am running variable one and two one works one does not , question are there separate fuze's for each?
I'm thinking just check the tiu fuze?
Yes, look at the TIU fuse, that's the first thing to check.
I will John , I do have Barry's book hope it's that simple, like I said I did have some sparks and arc's so I'm leaning
Oops sorry I'm leaning towards the fuze
Also the other variable works and I was running both before one of them derailed and shot down
Thanks 👍
@Bill s
Each TIU channel has a 20amp fuse. You should have a fast blow fuse for each channel that about half that.
Hi John, I do have inline fast blow fuze's they are fine I have power going in nothing coming out
Did you check the TIU internal fuse?
