I am curious how common this issue is and ideas to solve it. I have three loops which can be run independently and have each powered by a z-1000. The loops are also connected by 072 switches and I have the system set up that one of the transformers can be switched to power everything so a single loco can run anywhere on the the three loops (I run conventional operation). Two of the z-1000 units are phased the same but one is different. I had to make a "cheater" receptacle to plug it into so I could reverse the hot and neutral. Is this inconsistent phasing a common issue and is there another way to solve this problem? I hate to switch out the plugs on the transformers and I have not been inside one of these to see if it is easy to switch the connections. Any thoughts on this?
