[TenTec] Airpax Breaker Part and Source

[Bwana Bob]

Curt:

Most Ten Tec owners seem to be going to Poco Sales  
(http://www.pocosales.com/). They have a minimum order of $25. The 
breaker that you have looks like the Ten Tec 1140, which was used for 
the Corsair and similar rigs. The "0" after the T11 indicates an instant 
trip breaker, which, according to Poco, is very scarce. I exchanged some 
e-mail correspondence with them  about a week ago.  Here is what they 
quoted:

"The 20A quoted below has been put to use in hundreds of Ten-Tec 
applications and none have yet to complain."
T11-1-20.0A-01-11C-V    @ $12.50/ea
Parts are in stock

They know about the 17.5 amp instant trip requirement, but they do not 
stock such a breaker.

  I  am looking for a fast trip 5 amp breaker for my Century 22, but 
that is not a stock item, either (8 weeks lead time).  They do stock 
slow trip breakers but I don't think they are  fast enough to protect 
the finals, which is why Ten Tec specified instant or fast trip breakers.

If you only need one breaker, you can probably team up with a couple of 
other guys to make the minimum order.
