Re: [TenTec] Circuit breaker tripping excessively

[Craig Roberts <crgrbrts@verizon.net>]

Thanks for the good checklist, Dan.

As Mike, N4NT, suggested at the outset, the problem may very well be ALC 
related.  The problem is not as random as it first appeared.  Here's 
what happens:
as I advance the Drive control toward full output, the power supply's 
magnetic breaker trips just as the ALC is activated.  The exact power 
output level varies from band to band (from 50 watts on 80 meters down 
to about 35 - 40 on 10 meters) but the breaker trip point and ALC 
activation always coincide. 

I don't have a schematic of this rig, so I don't know how or from where 
the ALC voltage is derived.  This could be a challenge,
