Allan and others, an NCE Power CAB can measure and display the ampere demand. It is rated for only 2 amperes. A PowerPRO system (with the right power source/supply) is rated for 5 amps but cannot display the amp demand. Which system is being used? Monitor the voltage from the power supply. Is it also dropping out or is it only the internal booster?
Look also for other clues. Does it occur with the same or group of same loco(s)? Does it occur near the same
Section of track? Look for an internal wiring short due to something in the loco touching the frame due to flexing or a loco to loco short through metal couplers as they bump one another. If it is only happening with a multi unit consist, try removing the locos one at a time. Does it occur when pulling no cars?
