VPI SDS use question


I recently made several upgrades to my Scoutmaster and now have an SDS. I've got everything set up and running, but just had a question about the operation of the SDS. When the SDS is on, but the table is off, the voltage is steady at 72. When I turned the table on and set it to 33 RPM, the voltage jumps to 84. Changing to 45 RPM makes the voltage increase to 102. I just wanted to make sure this was normal operation as I'm not familiar with the SDS and the manual (like most VPI manuals) isn't very clear.

The SDS adds extra power to start the platter moving, then cuts back when platter up to speed. I do not, nor ever have owned a VPI, but I read the blurbs in thier adverts, and have remembered it.
the voltage change is a normal VPI thing.
