Sunday evening as I turned downwind at twilight with everything turned on including all the lights on, LED pulse lights, (20 amp load on my B&C 40 amp alternator), the 5 amp P&B field circuit breaker popped, the alternator went off line and the low voltage light started to flash. I pushed the CB back in but it popped twice more. I landed and put the plane away. Since then I found this very similar incident on the VANs RV site.

I have 324 hrs, this RV had 375 hrs before the B&C voltage regulator failed.
Does anyone out there have a similar story? B&C seems to think the P&B circuit breaker is at fault or something else in the wiring. I will go through their trouble shooting routine but it seems most likely that the voltage regulator failed.
