DCC Concepts DCC-BSS.2 Bus Spike Suppressors & Terminators (2 Pack)
DCC systems are rarely perfect in their square wave outputs and can have both overshoot and peaking that distorts the waveform.
Larger layouts can develop issues, especially in longer track busses, due to user wiring layout and induction in long wire runs.
Some DCC control systems can have significant voltage spikes in their output when certain items are activated.
Quite nasty spikes from devices that generate shorts on the bus such as “Frog Juicers”, auto-reversers, accidental overloads or short circuits can make systems attempt resets many times.
This can cause severe high voltage spikes at the track that could inevitably shorten loco and accessory decoder life, actually pit the metal tyres of your loco wheels and cause general harm to many things that is totally unnecessary.
ALL significant, but often invisible problems. (until you run trains in the dark, when you can actually often SEE the sparks).
The added voltage clamping and very robust filtering that is now part of DCCconcepts BSS.2 will go some way to keeping the harm these problems cause at bay.
Dimensions: Approximately 35mm x 17mm x 11mm
