NCE/Circuit Protectors

Summary: NCE manufactures a number of devices used for power management and short circuit protection

NCE Circuit Protection Devices

These devices will not work with analog (direct current).

EB1 Electronic Circuit Breaker

• Short circuit protection for a single power district. Can be used with any DCC system rated at 3 to 10A.
  • The minimum current is not low enough for use with the Power Cab.

Updated Version EB1 V1.1

This version will work with the NCE Power Cab.

Features

• Adjustable trip current
  • 1.5 to 8 A
  • Response time is adjustable
  • Power up response is adjustable, to prevent nuisance trips caused by inrush current from multifunction decoders with sound
• No soldering. Connections via terminal blocks
• Status LED, with connections for a remote LED
• Manual Reset, optional

EB3

• Similar to the EB1, this unit protects up to three power districts
• Fixed trip current points
• 2, 3 and 4A
• Response time is adjustable
  • Power up response is adjustable, to prevent nuisance trips caused by inrush current from multifunction decoders with sound
• Status LED
• Opto-isolated outputs for signals or control panel indicators

CP6 Circuit Protector

This device is for use with the Power Cab Only!

• Circuit protection for up to 6 power districts on your railroad.
  • Note: this is a current limiting device, not a circuit breaker.
• Prevents the Power Cab from rebooting

Applications

• Power Cab
  • CP6 only
  • Power Cab does not have enough current output to work properly with an EB3
• SB3 and DCC Twin
  • CP6 or EB1
• SB3a, SB5 and Power Pro
  • These systems feature a 5A booster, which can use the CP6 or EB1
    • Includes a Power Cab when used with an external booster
• EB1 v1.1
