Despite what others will tell you, it protects itself from overcurrent by reducing the voltage. This in turn reduces the amount of current that can be drawn from it. That is the only thing that could possibly cause it's voltage to drop and stay low, because the regulator is designed to raise the voltage if it gets too low. It would instantly burn out in these situations if too much current mysteriously just brought the voltage down and it tried it's heart out trying to raise it back up. It is constantly monitoring the circuit voltage and staying within it's own limits.Well I'm sure it doesn't because you, like many others have learned the wrong thing.</blockquote>
