Locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus English
Hint:
There are locomotives available that have interfaces physically going
up to the 21MTC interface, but not having 2 boosted outputs
(corresponding to NEM 660) but 4 boosted outputs. Only locomotives
made corresponding to NEM 660 are allowed to be labelled with the
21MTC logo.
Please check on the package and in the manual of your locomotive
whether the interface corresponds to NEM 660 or not and use the
suitable decoder version.
6.8. Use in locomotives with a.c. motor
The locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus have been designed to
control direct current (d.c.) motors, for that reason they cannot be
connected directly to alternating current (a.c.) motors. You can control
a.c. motors with the locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus and
benefit of the load control when
 mounting a load control adapter between a.c. motor and decoder or
 replacing the field coil of the a.c. motor by a permanent magnet.
