I have one of these on my track it says the following

Protects against power surges ( which it did)

Protects against power spikes ( which it did or must of)

Special duplex Electronics

Bi-Directional Duplexed

Any way heres my problem I have burnt out 2 of these first one I feel was because a train car jumped the track and ark and everything went dead okay my fault there track wasn't aligned correctly. second one no idea was running train stopped as engine and b unit separated so unplug power and put all back right plugged power cord in second one was fried no idea

now heres what I'm wondering am I pulling to much current thru it as I have 2 A units with dual motors 2 B units with tmcc in them one has rail sounds 7 mth passenger cars with 5 bulbs in each oh all A units and B units have lights in them also

I'm using a ZW to run this 14' x 16' loop of track ( post war zw 275 watts per the plate on the casing) but have it set at only 14 volts coming out .

please reply in simplest terms possible as not that electric knowledge here.

RT,

I am glad I did not buy them from you.   Laugh   Smile, Wink & Grin

Trow them out.

Simple fix.

 Now many Lokons do you have on the loop?

Put these at each Lockon and in your engines too if you want.
