Hi Board and Trackers in general,

For your info and consideration.

I use the DCC version of these microprocessor controlled intelligent circuit breakers on my 2 rail layout.  The DCC version operates flawlessly.  

Using these vastly improves the sensing and trip time on my layout.  Greatly superior to what I had on my 3 rail layout.  Much faster and more versatile protection than the previous century's old fashioned heat sensing circuit breakers.

I can't vouch for the 3 rail AC version.  But, I will swear by the 2 rail DCC version.

They're expensive.   But, then can it cost $200 or so to fix and out of warranty engine with a bad command board.  

Hope this helps.

Bill
