over-voltage

[Dale Campbell]

Hi,
This is good information. I also have had both circuit breakers pop. In the last 100 hours I had 2 overvolage problems. One was on take off after a 2 hour flite to Lake George,NY. I push the breaker in and turned the alt. switch back on and it happened again. Of course you loose all electric power. I waited 1 minute and reset breaker and this time did not turn on alternators. Electric power came back and I flew for 30 minutes just on battery. I told ATC I had a electric problem and if I lost radio or transponder I would use a portable com I had on board. After 30 minutes they said the transponder was failing. I than turned on 1 alternator and the breaker did not pop. After 5 minutes I turned on the other and all was OK.
I told my AP and he looked and found nothing. That was a year ago. I will pull the breaker panel and look for the problem you had. Thank you, Dale Campbell
