Power supply

Hang on just a second, there's something wrong here.

I don't believe that a remote control will use this much power; are you sure you haven't mad a mistake?

A remote control?
Are you sure it's the right thread?

Yes, that's right, it's a shelf transformer, so I won't buy a 25.5Vrms (18V) transformer. I'm using it to power my motorcontrol for an electric car motor.

Sorry I misread motor control for remote control.

I believe I've answered your question in another thread.

Since you're using this as a supply for a motor controller, the voltage probably doesn't have to be tightly regulated. For that matter, it also probably can tolerate a lot of ripple.

Re-check the controller specs and see what the maximum and minimum input voltages really are. If it's a closed loop PWM, there might be a lot of range.
