Electromagnetic Uncoupling That Works!

[Gary S]

Russ, I've been using 24 volts DC. Being an electrician and a model railroader, "transformer" can mean two different things - electrically, it is a device that converts one level of AC voltage to another level of AC voltage. With MR, it converts AC to a lower level of DC. I think the magnets will work on either AC or DC, but to get the same effect from AC as with pure DC, the voltage would need to be around 33 volts or so. So anyway, which transformer are you considering?

Edit: Senior moment discovered! Concerning power, 24 volt RMS AC is equivalent to 24 volt DC. DOH! :x
