Delph - Control panel wiring complete
Well, as best I can tell prior to functional testing, the wiring is complete. I've tried to be methodical and careful, but even so, I had to undo various cable ties and the spiral sheaving a couple of times to add extra wires which I'd missed first time. Testing under power will start shortly - probably next week, after a two day visit to the Wells show over the week-end. I just hope it all functions as intended as I don't really fancy fault finding or any re-wiring!
Here are some photos of the completed panel:
First, the external view showing the finished mimic panel, lever frame switches and DC track selection switches.
Second, a view of the panel base unit and the inside of the two sections of the front panel, showing the wiring arrangements.
Finally, here's the power supply unit which supplies 16 v AC to the panel, and then to the base-boards. Inside are two Guagemaster transformers wired in parallel. Both the mains side and output side of each transformer is protected by fuses. The track power feed from the panel are each providied with a thermal trip in case of a short circuit across the track going un-noticed.
