English Booster B-3
Short-circuit protection
The Booster B-3 provides an intergrated short circuit breaking in shape
of an integrated current limitation. This causes the booster to switch off
automatically when a short circuit occurs at the track output and thus
prevents damages to the booster, the tracks and the vehicles. The
short circuit sensitivity or the interrupting current is set to 2,5 A.
When the short circuit feedback line is connected to the booster port of
the control unit, the B-3 sends a feedback to the control unit when a
short circuit occurs and then the control unit switches off the booster.
After approx. 5 seconds the B-3 switches on automatically. If the short
circuit is still there, it switches off again immediately. After the booster
has been switched on and off five times, the automatic switching on will
be interrupted for approx. one minute before it starts again.
