KBPC5010 VOLTAGE RECTIFIER

kbpc I bought this voltage rectifier, this should be a simple Graetz rectifier, however, there are 2 strange issues I run into: The output DC voltage is higher than the input AC voltage. Why? For example I input 15.9V AC and it gives out 21.4V. What I have is the 50A version, yet if I put on a 1A dummy load this diode bridge keeps turning itself off, why? It is not the transformer I use, because I measure the AC and DC voltages with 2 meters at the same time and it gets stable AC voltage and keeps turning off. I have tried to add some filter capacitors to the output, but it doesn't change anything.
