Yeah, it doesn't make technical sense that the Victor could give power through the PWM cable. However, I have observed the an RC being powered by pushing power, and if my memory is correct the 120 amp breaker was in the open position.....

Alright, I just realized the flaw in my thought process. It doesn't matter if the switch was open, the power is being distributed through the ATC panel. So yeah, you'll push a voltage back through the distrobution panel. From there, my classes tell me it should be equally distributed to all the components connected to the ATC.
