Hi all, I'm new to this forum, so the answer to this question is probably already tucked away somewhere I haven't stumbled across yet.
My query is: when wiring a CDU to point motors (plural) via a relay, is the discharge current high voltage, low amps or 12v - 15v, high amps? that is to say what amperage rating do the coil contacts have to be? The unit I have at the moment has a 4700 microfarad capacitor although I found an article on the web last night advocating the use of a 1000 microfarad capacitor for switching 4 to 8 points simultaneously.
I don't mind playing with the soldering iron but the grey cells won't cope with the calculus required to solve the equation I found on t'internet last night.
thanks for anyone able to help
Mike
