New! TVS Low Voltage Surge Protection

Maximum protection for your layout

Finally - Protection for your layout against voltage and amperage spikes. With fast reacting time of less than 5 nSec, control your model railroad empire with confidence that both your trains and command system components are protected as much as possible.

The new TVS-4 is a low voltage surge suppressor with four (4) individual channels utilizing newer generation transorb technology and spade terminals for easy hook up. Reaction time is super fast - less than 4 nSec - redirecting unwanted spikes to ground and away from our trains and equipment. Typically this is done without any interruption. Included is a FB-4 fuse block with 15A fast blow fuses for additional over-amperage protection. The TVS-4 performs equally well with conventional systems, Lionel TMCC® or MTH DCS™ without degradation to the command signal.

Also available: 10 gauge single conductor wire (in green) to complete the connection to ground (and save you a trip to hardware store).
