Description: It is usually desirable to divide a layout into separate track power sections (power districts). Multiple EB1 circuit breakers can be used to divide the power output of one DCC booster into independent power districts each with its own short circuit protection. Note: The EB1 is designed to be used only with DCC systems.

Setting trip current: The EB1 comes from the factory with the trip current set to 2.5 Amps. You can set the trip current for each district higher by using circuit “shunts”. Shunts are the small black plastic pieces supplied with the EB1. If no shunt is installed the trip current is 2.5 Amps. The diagram below illustrates the locations of shunts to set the trip current in 8 increments from 2.5 to 8 Amps.

Method 2: If you have an NCE (or other system) that supports OPs mode programming of accessories you can program CVs without having to install the “SETUP” shunt. The EB1 comes from the factory preprogrammed to the accessory address of 2044 (the accessory broadcast address).

CV132/133 - Accessory address CV132 default = 143 high byte of accessory address CV133 default = 191 Low byte of accessory address Don't try to set these CVs by manually programming CVs. Use the "setup" jumper method above to set the accessory address. If manual reset is enabled, track power through the EB1 can be turned on/off (or turned back on after a short circuit shutdown) by controlling the EB1 as accessory (turnout).
