Here is another question I have about DC common rail systems: how do you hook up multiple power sources?
If you use only 1 power source to power a large toy rr, it must have a lot of amps, potentially enough to weld pickup wheels to the rails and unleash major destruction during shorts caused by derailments. I doubt such a system would be kind to solid state circuit boards either, for those who are partial to them. With an AC common rail (base post) system, I have had as many as 6 transformers, mostly double turret, in phase, with the base posts or commons connected together, to power various segments of the track (and also action cars). Power flows beautifully and easily through a system like that. In other words, it provides a lot of power but not too much at any one spot. How do you do this in a DC common rail system?? Can it be done? How are the power sources connected to each other, if they are? Should the AC sources of the DC(behind the rectifiers be in phase, or do some other rules apply? Thanks.
