My local commercial raceway had 6 amp breakers for each lane and even Group 7 cars did not pop those, so I expect that 11 amps per lane will be enough. Will the track be braided? I would not run high draw motors with copper tape. Be sure to use at least 14 gauge wire.
Mains power supplies
Can anyone tell me what current drain we are likely to experience running big power 24th scale cars ?
We are setting up a new club with a 5 lane wooden braided circuit and need to sort out power supplies man enough for the job.
Would 13.6 volts and 22 amps be sufficient to run 2 lanes - this effectively would give us 11 amps per lane.
I know a lot of clubs use considerably lower amps than that !
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
