Curt:

Most Ten Tec owners seem to be going to Poco Sales (http://www.pocosales.com/). They have a minimum order of $25. The breaker that you have looks like the Ten Tec 1140, which was used for the Corsair and similar rigs. The "0" after the T11 indicates an instant trip breaker, which, according to Poco, is very scarce. I exchanged some e-mail correspondence with them about a week ago. Here is what they quoted:

"The 20A quoted below has been put to use in hundreds of Ten-Tec applications and none have yet to complain."
T11-1-20.0A-01-11C-V    @ $12.50/ea
Parts are in stock

They know about the 17.5 amp instant trip requirement, but they do not stock such a breaker.

I am looking for a fast trip 5 amp breaker for my Century 22, but that is not a stock item, either (8 weeks lead time). They do stock slow trip breakers but I don't think they are fast enough to protect the finals, which is why Ten Tec specified instant or fast trip breakers.

If you only need one breaker, you can probably team up with a couple of other guys to make the minimum order.


                            73,

I'm looking for best part number and source for an Airpax magnetic breaker
for less than 18A.  I think the correct number is T11-0-17.5A-01-10A-V.
Appreciate any advice about this.
