I have the B&C "crowbar" overvoltage module ("OVM") installed and it has been fine until today. Today I flew for about half an hour. When I throttled back to about 2400 RPM for descent the 5A circuit breaker began tripping. No problems were noted at cruise RPM and idle/taxi RPM. There were no changes in the load on the electrical system--it's a basic VFR setup with only a COM radio and engine gauges on the DC bus. The analog panel voltmeter is reading about 14 VDC with the breaker in, but of course that would not provide any indication of transients that might be tripping the OVM. I'm suspecting the regulator--I previously posted here about problems with an unstable VDO tach reading with the tach input connected to an alternator lead. Perhaps the problems are related. Before I start digging into the electrical system, has anyone else seen a similar problem or have any suggestions? Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message aeroelectric-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/AeroElectric-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/aeroelectric-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/aeroelectric-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
