The power supply of a model railway layout

As with conventionally operated systems and layouts, a sufficient
supply of electricity to the system is a precondition for the sure and
safe functioning of the Digital plus by Lenz
Locomotives, (coach) lights, points, signals etc. are power consumers.
The amplifiers supply this power and at the same time the control
information required by the decoders.
To find out whether the maximum current of the Digital plus by Lenz
system used is sufficient for the supply of your model railway system,
with AC:
with pure DC:
When supplied with DC, it makes sense to select an input
voltage which is approx. 2 V higher than the set output
voltage (voltage on the track) or, if supplied with AC, equally
high or slightly lower. This avoids an unnecessary loss of
heat in the device which in turn could lead to an early thermal
switch off.
The voltage at the track is adjustable between 11 V and 22 V
in steps of 0,5 V. In case of a loads, this voltage can be lower
depending on the transformer used. The factory voltage
setting is 16V.
The output current is limited to a maximum of 5A.
It is adjustable from 2.5 A to 5 A in steps of 0.5 A.
Depending on the transformer used, as well as its voltage
and the set track voltage, the constant current, which the
amplifier of the LZV 200 can supply, varies.
Example: When using the transformer TR150 and a track
voltage of 16V, the constant current is 4.3 A.
Thermal overload protection. The switching off of the
overload occurs after approx. 200 ms in case of constant
overcurrent (e.g. short-circuit).
The LV103 is equipped with a global RailCom detector. This
detector receives data sent by decoders in channel 2 of the
RailCom packets.
This data is forwarded via the C,D lines to the LZV200 central
unit.
