No, the breaker was OK. I have a 20A breaker on the amp, a 25A one on the wall of the shack, and a 30A one at the service entrance. All three opened up properly. But the relay that controls the primary of the transformer stuck shut.

I think that he said a 30 amp breaker welded itself shut.  Would
probably do that on a panel mounted breaker, too.  73
