Title: Power needs for DCC loop to loop layout
Post by: MattC on June 05, 2015, 11:43:39 AM

Hi all, I could really use your help!

I have built a layout with a reverse loop at each end.

I have one EZ Command auto reverse loop module at each end. Each has a 5 amp max current draw.

Layout is powered by EZ Command DCC controller (item 44931) with 1 amp wall pack power supply.

There will be one loco running on this for now.

QUESTION: Do I need to get a 5 amp power booster (item 44910)?

No, for one loco a 1amp system should be fine. That's a MAX, not normal, current rating on the reverse units.
