<p>[quote user="DigitalGriffin"]Well I measured the A/C output one day and the 16VAC output was measuring 28VAC![/quote]</p> <p>[quote user="DigitalGriffin"]So I thought, "Maybe the supply isn't well regulated and needs a load to settle down to 16VAC." So I put the Sante Fe flyer on the track and turned on the throttle full blast. I then put my voltage probes across the rails...26VDC! YIKES.[/quote]</p> <p>Is that a typo? You should be only reading VDC from a Bachmann powerpack. There should be no AC on the track.</p>
