TFP and all you wizards have....once again....SAVED THE DAY! I have a Aquarite generator and the "generating" and power lights would go out after about 20 seconds of run time. So I bought and replaced the current limiter and now for 9 bucks my box is working again!
As many described, the black disk was cracked, although only slightly, around the outsider perimeter. My box was getting too hot due to 1. direct sunlight in the P.M. 2. The painters painted it flat hunter green, and 3. it was mounted flush to the wall, where heat from the wall was being conducted directly into the box. I would imagine 150 deg would not be an outrageous number in August. So I painted it back to gloss white, and mounted it with 1" standoffs. Hope that helps.
You all are awesome!
