Default Question about, Voltage regulator.


Hello there Everyone,

Well I have a question for you guys.
Few weeks ago I’ve bought a voltage regulator for my plane.
I’ve bought a Jaccio Perfect switch harness with a 6V regulator cause I’m going to
use a thunder Power LiPo 2S 900mAh battery for the servos/receiver. But before I’ve
plugged it in the receiver, where servos are plugged, I’ve decided to check the voltage
coming out of the regulator first, so that I could prevent (if anything is wrong with the regulator)
burning out the servos/receiver. And to my luck, I’ve read on the meter 8.3 volts. So, the
regulator isn’t working? Or, does it regulate the voltage till when it’s attached to the receiver?
Or is my regulator fried? But to my understanding of some basic electronic, when a regulator
has burn/fried, it doesn’t let any current or voltage through. Please correct me if I’m wrong.


Regards,
Danny Koolman
