Required materials
In order to connect the booster you need:

Wire. Recommended diameter:
for the connection to the transformer and the rails: > 1,5 mm²
for the connection to the digital control unit: > 0,25 mm²

A transformer. The recommended voltage and the minimum power
of the transformer depend on the desired settings.
Determining the transformer´s voltage
Desired track voltage
10 – 12 V
12 – 15 V
15 – 18 V
18 – 22 V
> 22 V
Determining the transformer´s minimum power
desired track voltage x desired interrupting current
= minimum transformer´s power
Example: 18 V x 3 A = 54 VA
Please note:
!
Use a transformer with a nominal voltage not much higher than the
desired track voltage. The power resulting has to be dissipated as heat
by the booster otherwise. When this power is too high, the booster
overheats and switches off.
