Capacitor discharge unit - wiring instructions? Would anyone be able to point me to who sells these kits. Connect to the 16v ac supply on your transformer. Electrics (non-DCC): Ive found a very old ECM capacitor discharge unit which might solve a problem I have with a very stiff device operated by a PECO point motor.

It has one set of terminals marked something like power in - 24v AC max Its odd years since Ive used one of these and TBH Im ashamed to. For use with all solenoid motors (e.g. PL-and Pl-11).

The unit also aids simultaneous multiple turnout motor operation. Input: Mains (240v AC) use amp fuse.

I built a computer from a kit ). The Circuitron device is a quality product and will work fine, but if you want to expand your skill set a bit, this is a perfect way to do it. The unit stores up power in capacitors and when a point motor is actuate discharges in one big punch giving the point motor a firm and positive switching action. Connected to points via switches or probe and studs. Prevents burnt out motors. With DC only one loco can be operated at the same time unless the circuit is divided into isolated blocks as the current in the track controls the loco.

A capacitor discharge ignition works by passing an electrical current over a capacitor. This type of ignition builds up a charge quickly. A CDI ignition starts by generating a charge and storing it up before sending it out to the spark plug in order to ignite the engine. This happens because the circuit includes a bleed resistor specifically added for the job. However, they will work with out a CD.

I have been using the old Atlas slide switches to power the machines. Compare Pricing, Inventory and Datasheets for Millions of In-Stock Parts. The postage on this item will be £3.

This simple unit is dirt-cheap to build. My photos: view photos in Gallery view photos as slides. Find great deals on eBay for capacitors discharge kit. I have brought the unit right up to the points but still no good (although the test motor worked). The large filter capacitor in the power supply section can hold dangerous high voltage even if the unit has been off for few days.

The Peco points have the accessory swith fitted. This current burst is over by the time the switch contacts open, thus eliminating back emf across the switch contacts.
