Joined: 28/05/2003(UTC) Posts: 719 Location: ,		The address range is probably from 0 through 16.383, that`s 16.384 address slots, that`s 2 powers 14. The unit (probably) will not differentiate between categories of devices, such as mobile decoders, stationary decoders, boosters, detectors,... The CS will assign addresses to components automatically so, you will have to bother with names instead of addresses. Regards, Manfred

If I'm not wrong, I believe you multiply 16V X 3Amp, and you only come up with 48VA anyway..

Do they make them in 110V

Do they make them in 110V Try this one, although it is a 90VA: http://www.dccspecialties.com/products/mf615.htm It is available at Litchfield Station http://www.litchfieldstation.co...cc/mrdcc.html#PS-AC-1560 as the PS-AC-1560 for $36.00USD. I've used it with the 6021 controller, and haven't had any problems at all, but I'm sure the electronics guru's might want to comment on it. Dave

Yes, I want! What strikes me when looking at the pictures is that there is an earthing wire in the mains chord while the transformar itself is enclosed in plastic. What use has this? Even more striking is that the earthing wire seems to continue in the output cable. That's puzzling me also. Is this caused by differences in safety rules between the USA and Europe? I must say that this configuration looks very un-European...

Joined: 03/08/2004(UTC) Posts: 48 Location: New Castle, PA		According to the instructions provided at the link for the power supply, the Digitrax DCC sytem appears to utilize the ground (earthing) wire. I use the power supply for my Lenz system, and the wire is not used, in fact it is stated emphatically not to attach it. Apparently some DCC systems in the USA use a ground (earthing) wire. It probably is caused by the safety rules differences, but I live in a house wired in 1920...so no ground wiring anyways... [:I]
