  1. The aircraft has been converted to a loadmaster trainer and its tail # is 69-0949. I have ensured that a 80A current limiter is installed each time. I did swap the retrievers from R to L and the problem still remains on the LH side. The problem is always on the LH side. I'm Looking at the MD 4 (power unit) right now for possible voltage issues, but not sure. We have 3 trainers running off of 1 MD4 and you would think that if it were a power issue it would happen to another trainer. I unwound the winch while checking the phases on the generator and they remained consant without any fluctuation also.
  2. Yes I swapped out retrievers and it still blows the limiter. Changed both the unwind and rewind relays and still pops the limiter. You can hold the switch either to full unwind or rewind and it will not blow, but if you bump the switch 6 or 7 times pretty quick, it will blow before you know it. I dont see how it can be the control relay but that is the only thing left to change. I cleaned all the contacts including the common ground and it didn't help either. Any other advice? This trainer is used for loadmaster training and has been a problem for quite a while.
  3. I have a static line retriever that is blowing the current limiters anytime the switch is (bumped) it wont blow the limiter if you just hold the switch but it blows when the switch is bumped just to bring in the cable a bit at a time. We have new relays on order but has anyone ever had this problem?
