Just a note for people. An 8 amp DCC power booster only uses 1.5 amps at 120 VAC. The 8 amps that is listed is for the working voltage (about 21v) A 5 amp DCC power booster uses 1 amp at 120 VAC. <br /> <br />I only point this out so people don’t think they need a 20 amp circuit for two (2) 8 amp DCC power boosters. If anyone is interested, I'll post the formulas up for figuring out power. The main is as easy as PIE. P = I * E <br />P = Power (Watts) <br />I = current (Amps) <br />E = Voltage <br />
