>God bless you and your crowbar overvoltage module.  Yesterday, my RV-8
>(N801RV) with only 48 hours ttsn, popped its 5 amp. alt. field circuit
>breaker.  I reset it and watched the volt meter.  After about 5 seconds, I
>observed the voltage passing 15 volts and climbing.  The breaker tripped
>again.  I did not reset it again.  I ran down to the Advance Auto this
morning
>and purchased a new voltage regulator.  After 10 minutes and $9.95 I was back
>in the air with no damage to the avionics.  All is back to normal now.
