- | Direct Current. DC is the unidirectional flow of electric charge. Direct current is produced by sources such as batteries a model train set controller or a dynamo on your bicycle. Typical DC voltage values used on model train layouts are 12V (motive power), 5V (logic circuits such as those used by CBus) and 2-3V (Light-Emmitting Diode ([[glossary: | + | Direct Current.

+ | If the feed wires from PSU to load are of sufficient length to have a bit of impedance and supply several loads, then the dirt caused by one load can cross to other loads. This would usually be positive & negative sharp spikes superimposed on the dc. If the PSU is inadequate and feeds clean and dirty loads then the effects can also cause Pic ( or other microprocessor ) " | ||
