2. Safety Information for the Operation
of Märklin Transformers
Important
Safety Risk!
Under adverse conditions it is highly dangerous, if the yellow or red sok-
kets/terminals for two or more transformers are connected with each
other in addition to the connections between the brown ground sockets/-
terminals. In such a situation if the power cord for one transformer is
still plugged into a household current outlet, adangerous alternating
current will be present in the bare metal parts of the power cords plugs
for the other transformers.
Always ovserve the following:
The power cords for several transformers should therefore always be plugged into a
common power distribution strip. The transformers must always be connected to or
disconnected from the household current by plugging or unplugging the power cord
for the distribution strip!
G Electrical power consumers (examples: feeder connections, turnouts, signals,
lights, etc.) must never be connected to two or more transformers at the same time,
because this situation will create the dangerous alternating current described
above.
Important:
Two or more solenoid accessories connected together to a switch or to a circuit track
must not receive their power from different transformers.
G Never touch any bare metal parts on a layout, before the entire layout is
completely without power, i.e. all transformers must be disconnected from
the household current.
G A locomotive must never be stopped continuously over the separation point bet-
ween two track power circuits in conventional operation with alternating current
transformers!
3. Connecting the Transformer
Make sure that the power cords for all of the transformers used with your layout are
disconnected from the household current before connecting a transformer to the
layout!
