kiwitrains Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) I recently purchased the above to use on my rolling road which is in the next place to my layout. On the unit it states 15v input and output, there is a 4amp transformer with it, I tried one of my 0 gauge locos on a rolling road and it would not move (sound was ok) checking the voltage on the track and at the output on the unit I get 13.6v the 0 gauge loco I understand needs 15V On checking the output on the AUX I get 32.6v do you think it might be faulty?

RAF96 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) The Select has a 15v DC PSU input and puts out 15v DCC to the Track which is a pseudo AC waveform. You can read this on a multimeter AC volts range but it is not accurate only indicative - for accuracy you need a RRAMP meter. The Aux output is 15v DC and of no use to run a loco. Edited January 24, 2021 by RAF96 To add Aux voltage info. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
