John, <br /> <br />I can only guess what has happened from your description but it sounds as if you have a short in your wiring. Either you have a reversing section that you didn't realize was there or you connected one or more feeders to the wrong bus wire. The only reason I can guess that your overload doesn't come on immediately is that you may have the momentum control on and the overload is not triggered at very low RMS voltage. Go over your feeders and make sure they are attached to the correct bus and then check your track plan for any reversing sections. Sorry I can't do any better than that. Good Luck - Ed
