Model railroad with several transformers:
Plug the power cords for the transformers into a power strip

you have a power strip with an on/off switch, turn this on

4. Short Circuit or Overload on a Transformer

A built-in thermal switch protects the Transformer from dam-
age in case of an overload or a short circuit. Locomotives on
the layout will come to a stop, accessories cannot be oper-
ated and all lamps connected to the Transformer will go out.
The following procedure is recommended:
1. Unplug the power cords for all transformers from their
outlets.
2. Look for the cause of the short circuit on the layout and
correct it.
3. After about 1 minute the thermal switch will go back to
being on. After this amount of time has passed, all Trans-
formers can be placed in operation again.
If the Transformer should shut off again and you are unable
to locate a short circuit, then the Transformer is overloaded.
In this case the number of users connected to the Transfor-
mer must be reduced.
