I have been using DCC for about 15 years now and have come up with a few designs that make it a little bit easier.
The first is a simple power supply board that is designed to be attached directly to the DCC bus to provide DC voltage to your accessories.
Features as follows:
- Input stage designed to not clip DCC waveform – unlike normal rectifier circuits
-
First output is full wave rectified and smoothed DC, typically 14v with a Powercab, other DCC systems may give different voltages. Ideal for smoke units or anything that would normally need a plug in DC supply.
- Second output variable from approx 1.5v to 14v by a simple screwdriver adjuster, ideal for powering LEDs (series resistor recommended)
- Compact design – only 33x50x15mm will fit in any small space, even under a building
- Capable of supplying up to 1.5A
- Input and output short circuit protected
So if you, like me, want to keep a “2 wire” philosophy with your DCC layout, but want to power those accessories? this little circuit is for you. Have an existing DCC layout and have added a building in a far corner away from your existing DC supplies? this PCB will get that lighting working.
