Can you add a second transformer to Carrera Digital 132?

Posted by John on November 10, 2008

Reader Bobby G asks:

i have about 70′ of evolution track converted to digital and there is a voltage drop around the middle section. can a second transfomer be added?

Sorry Bobby, I tried to reply to your email but I think I have the wrong address.

The short answer is no, you definitely can’t just add a second transformer.  Carrera makes power extension cables under part numbers 20584 (5m) and 20585 (10m).

Here’s the word direct from the US Carrera website FAQ:

Question:

Which circuit length does require any additional supply with Digital 132?

Answer:

Tracks of an entire length of 12 metres and more should be equipped with an additional power supply. Since 2006 the generation of modified U-profile connections between the individual track parts has drastically minimised the power loss. You will get the additional supply cables required from your retailer under item number 20584 (cable length 5m) and item number 20585 (cable length 10m). Under no circumstances you shall connect any further Black Boxes and/or transformers (danger of causing a short circuit!).
