Description
Improves the power of your track to locations away from the powerbase
When your track exceeds a total length of 20 meters, voltage drops may occur. This power reduction causes cars to slow down or even stop. Several factors contribute to this issue:
- Excessive distance between the powerbase and certain track sections.
- Use of multiple connection points along the circuit.
- Multiple vehicles running on the same lane simultaneously.
To prevent these issues, the Carrera Additional Power Supply Cable ensures an even distribution of power across the entire track. It is compatible with Carrera Evolution, Digital 124, and Digital 132 and installs easily with connectors that snap into place under the track, requiring no modifications.
🔌 Why Use an Additional Power Supply Cable?
Adding a second powerbase is not a viable solution in digital setups (only one powerbase and power source per circuit). This cable eliminates voltage drops without disrupting the system’s functionality.
⚡ Optimal Power Cable Installation
For effective power bridging, follow these steps:
- Identify voltage drop areas: Test your track and note where cars slow down unexpectedly.
- Determine connection points: Connect one end of the cable to the track section closest to the powerbase (the most direct power source) and the other to the farthest point from the powerbase or where cars slow down.
- Install the cables: Snap the connectors neatly under the track and ensure correct polarity to prevent short circuits (red wire to red, black to black).
- Verify power distribution: After installation, test the circuit again and add additional cables if needed to stabilize voltage across the entire track.
🏁 Don’t let voltage drops ruin your races! 🏁
With the Carrera power supply cable, available in 5m (20584) and 10m (20585), enjoy consistent power and a smooth, immersive racing experience.
