NCE 305 RC Filter (Snubber)

RC Filter (Snubber) Features Use with any DCC system to prevent large voltage spikes. Reduces or eliminates voltage spikes on long runs of DCC bus wire Protects decoders from damaging inductive voltage spikes Solve temporary loss of control or runaway problems Preserves DCC waveform accuracy you experience the following? 1) loss of train control but not running away. 2) Runaway engines (Take off) 3) Loss of decoder programming. 4) Decoders blowing up. 5) Any combination of above. Then you should consider installing RC filters on the track. WHERE DO I INSTALL THE RC FILTERS? Put the very first one on a given track bus at the FAR end of long track bus run. Repeat for every track bus you have. Why at the FAR end? The booster already has some RC filtering capability built in which covers the starting point of the track bus. The RC filter you install will provide the same capability at the opposite FAR end. Together they work on filtering the middle of the track bus. A divide and conquer approach to the problem that has it roots in engineering principles
