Mag 15
Power Supply
Family owned and operated since 1995

Mag 15 Power Supply
• CONNECTIONS:
The MAG-15 is a linear power supply intended to provide up to 600 Was of power for model railroads,
and accessories
There are three outputs from the MAG-15.
• the primary output is a 20V regulated DC output, this can be used as a power source for
other power controllers such as the Bridgewerks Mag-Mate, or UR-15, or for third party
control systems such as DCC systems.
• There is an unregulated, 12V output from the power supply,
• There is a 24V AC output
• Overload Protecon:
In the event of an overload, the circuit is protected by a reseable fuse on the back of the unit. If it trips,
turn o the power, wait for a few minutes, remove whatever caused the overload, then press the buon
on the back of the unit to reset the fuse, and turn on the power again.
• Wire:
Use heavy gauge wire to connect your power controller to the track. For distances of up to 15 feet,
you should use 12 gauge wire. For distances over 15 , you use 10 gauge wire. Although the track
itself is similar to a very heavy gauge wire, in larger layouts, signicant loss can occur from the
connecons between secons of track. To improve this, run mulple power connecons to the
track from the controller and/or use track clamps rather than slider type couplers. In outdoor
layouts which are exposed to extreme temperatures, the track will expand and contract as the
temperature changes, and slider type couplers may have to be used.
• Outdoor operaon
Garden railways are oen installed outdoors and Bridgewerks controllers are built to be used with
outdoor railroad layouts. However, they are not waterproof, and as with any electronic equipment,
they should not be le outdoors when not in use. To make this easy, the connecons are all made so
that they can simply be unplugged and the controller can be carried indoors.
