Hi all,
I am about to order the Pwr. 56 supply for my HO scale layout.
Currently I have a Digitrax DCC power supply. I have two loco's with LM3s and TCS's keep alives with bridge rectifiers, both work perfectly. My question is when I install the PWR 56, and remove the bridge rectifiers, will the keep alives be able to handle the voltage either directly from the rails, or if I keep the motherboard in the loco, will the motherboard reduce the current enough so I don't have to worry about blowing up my Keep Alives? I found some info. here, but not exactly what I am looking for, or at least what I could understand. PS, Iv'e blown a small capacitor before and it wasn't pretty.
