power cord for one transformer is still plugged into a house-
hold current outlet, a dangerous alternating current will be
present in the bare metal parts of the power cords plugs for
the other transformers.
Always observe the following:
The power cords for several transformers should therefore
always be plugged into a common power distribution strip.
The transformers must always be connected to or discon-
nected from the household current by plugging or unplug-
ging the power cord for the distribution strip!
• Electrical power consumers (examples: feeder con-
nections, turnouts, signals, lights, etc.) must never be
connected to two or more transformers at the same time,
because this situation will create the dangerous alternat-
ing current described above.
Transformers must always be connected to or dis-
connected from the household current by plugging or
unplugging the power cord for the distribution strip!
Important:
Two or more solenoid accessories connected together to
a switch or to a circuit track must not receive their power
from different transformers.
• Never touch any bare metal parts on a layout, before
the entire layout is completely without power, i. e. all
transformers must be disconnected from the household
current.
• A locomotive must never be stopped continuously over
the separation point between two track power circuits
in conventional operation with alternating current trans-
formers!
