Another wiring question
Posted by carl425 on Wednesday, January 29, 2014 4:34 PM

I'm splitting my layout into 4 power districts.  What size wire would be appropriate for the 2' or so run from the command station to the circuit breakers?  Digitrax 8-amp if it matters.

I have the right to remain silent.  By posting here I have given up that right and accept that anything I say can and will be used as evidence to critique me.

If it is only a two foot run, 14 or 16 will do. 16 will work easier on a PM42 edge connector and still fit the terminal on your Digitrax booster.
