Chris, I had a simular problem as you described. I chased the problem for a while and had the same circuit breaker tripping problem. As I recall, the problem turned out to be a frayed wire on the voltage regulator and an intermitten loose connection on the same. One caused the other. hope this helps Jeff York KR2 N839BG

I began to witness tripping of my 30A circuit breaker that connects the alternator to the electrical bus after an hour long flight. When the rectifier cooled down the problem went away and the breaker could be reset. ( 1" SCAT blast tube keeps it cool in flight ) Changing the rectifier ( luckily I had a spare) solved the problem . This is after about 200 hours of flying time so I guess this is not abnormal. Curious to whether anyone else has had this problem.
