Low voltage warning

<< < (2/2)

William Brillinger:
what does the LM report for track voltage? does it agree?

Well that's a different way of checking voltage levels. Of course if I own a PowerCab and not a Power Pro so I've never read the manual. So given that we can be pretty well sure that you are putting 14.25v to the track, then

^ This would also be my next question. I'd possibly be inclined to go around the layout with a bridge rectifier and DMM in hand and measure directly too if it happens in known spots. Apart from that the only thing I can think of is the operation of the KA's somehow cause it.

William Brillinger:
also, are you using a KA? or PBM? If a KA, what brand? (PBM is Ring's Keep Alive Product)

ON28:
Checking inside is per NCE's instructions for also increasing voltage. I am using TCs KA3s and 4s. Volatge per the HC is usually around 13.2, less often 13.4. I've been fastidious about feeders to every rail, and have also added brass bus bars between the stock and closure rails, as well as between the stock rails and points, on my Atlas Custom Line Code 100 switches. (Peco does the latter on their switches, if you look close.)
