Are there versions of the Z1K that have self resetting breakers? If not, it's possible someone has already had a go at repairing this transformer and may have installed the wrong current rating breaker. I can't say with certainty that my z1000 is correct, as I've found out it came from the factory wired backwards of how most of them are, but mine has a standard, run of the mill, 6 Amp thermal breaker that has to be pushed to be reset.

What happened was this, although it has stopped since I removed two of the cars - the breaker would trip and the green indicator light on the Z-1000 would go dim. After 20 - 30 seconds you could hear a barely audible "click" and the light would go back on. It was only then necessary to take the throttle to zero and power up again to run the engine.
