I have the B&C setup also and they suggested measuring the field resistance wiring. I've forgotten what it should be but a call to them would give you a reference point. I believe the original alternator was simply drawing more than 5 amps when under a large load. I changed nothing else (ie wiring runs, comm radio etc). With the larger alternator (a 90A unit), the field breaker would open each time I pulled up the gear on climb out. Earl
