Interesting. I did not even think to check that. Do you think that there is still a possibility if that checks out that the AVG could be found to be defective if a reactive LBT is performed? I'm also wondering if it is worth performing a test on the excitation to make sure there are no faults...
Thanks for the reply edison123. Perhaps? It is a bit odd that this has not been an issue before now if that is the case, though. How would you suggest testing for that?

Thanks for the input waross. I definitely have a feeling it's from the sudden current draw on the system. I did not think about supplementing the AVG with a power supply. I am somewhat concerned though that the AVG may be defective as I realized we did not do a reactive load bank test on the...
