Breaker on Onan	Dewey	8-28-01
Every once in a while the breaker on my 7K onan will trip. there are two breakers and the one that services the front air is the one that trips... the generator is 8 years old and has over 600 hours on it.. could a breaker get weak over the years? There is no problem on regular AC service...

Every once in a while the breaker on my 7K onan will trip. there are two breakers and the one that services the front air is the one that trips yes, they can get "weak". the contacts in them build a slight resistance which is just enough to make them think they are getting hot from a overload. See your local Onan repair station and get a new one.

There is no problem on regular AC service... Also extreme generator compartment teperature can cause this.I had the same problem with my RV when I was driving with the gen on.Only way I found to cure it temporarily was to remove the door for better air flow. Later I put a small scoop on it and did the trick.Breakers are after all temperature sensitive....
