[QUOTE="Craig Hauber, post: 82755, member: 272"] Re: Breaker issues, your thoughts? The breakers aren't proprietary to the panel-maker. Take one out and I'm sure there's manufacturer markings on it and you can probably order new ones from Mouser (or equivalent) I've had breakers of that style on dimmers that develop nuisance-trip issues, some that get so sensitive just physically bumping into the rack could pop them. In my situation it was due to abuse in a previous life before I got the dimmers. In your situation possibly you have been running it so close to maximum that they are wearing-out prematurely. I am not too familiar with the amp in question but I have no idea how they can sell something with a peak output voltage of 195V and a max current output of 85A and only ship it with a 230V@16A connector! You might want to downward adjust their "PAL" settings until it won't trip the breaker (after you install new ones of course) [/QUOTE]
