I have a Fluke, a RRampmeter, and a couple of $2 Harbor Freight meters. They all read within a half a volt of each other using the AC scale. None of them is anywhere near 22VAC.

Martin Myers

exactly .. and the reading you get is "close enough" for most purposes .. 22V is too high ...

OK I'm closing out this thread, the one about the 4-6-0 got resolved so I'm going to close that, and the "programming track" one will be the only one left. Seems like there are all kinds of ways to measure the DCC current, with all kinds of equipment, and it's confusing.

PLEASE LOCK THIS THREAD

OK
