Power - Smooth well regulated power for perfect performance!
Its not commonly understood, but even those digital systems that show the use of AC power supplies in the manual actually
run on DC internally... and what you may also not know is that while AC power supplies may be lower cost, they also give
ZERO protection from inevitable voltage Surges and level changes, increasing the possibility of system damage!
So - using AC power makes little sense in reality - Especially as all involved in digital electronics agree that the quality of pow-
er supply that you choose will, more than any other factor, dictate the eventual performance of your model railway, because
best cause problems with communication and may, in the extreme, actually damage your precious decoders and other items.
It just makes good sense to use a top quality, properly regulated DC power supply.

our Cobalt range, it has also been tested with all main DCC brands from "Starter sets" to full-feature 5amp systems, and
it consistently gives excellent results with all of those brands.
