Use 16 AWG only if your transformer's circuit breaker trips at 10 amperes or less.

Mine goes to one MTH "buss bar" type board.  The board is fed with one pair of wires from the transformer.

One more DCS wiring question
Posted by Fred Bear on Sunday, January 28, 2007 4:19 PM
I'm just getting ready to wire this track loop for the DCS, can I run everything to a central hub, say an accessory board that has 20 different slots for stuff? Would that work OK? Using paired wiring 16 guage? Thanks Jake
