Hey... been having a problem where the alt field breaker keeps popping in flight (M20R Ovation II). I had a first mechanic look at it... he sent out the voltage regulator... mooney said it was fine. Mechanic checked all the connectors, fuse, and batteries... all looked fine.... Replaced the diode... did not work... rebuilt the alternator... appeared to work for about 4 hours... then it popped again in flight. Took it to a new mechanic.... he found chafing in the field coil wires. However, fixing that did not seem to fix things. The new mechanic tested everything again... including the alternator. He narrowed it down to the voltage regulator. Sent it to mooney.... mooney checked it and said it was fine. The mechanic is pretty sure it is the voltage regulator. Has anybody had any odd failure modes with the voltage regulator that mooney did not find at first glance? This is getting very expensive and my plane has been down for months... please help!
