Like many researchers before me, I look and read about what my peers are doing and developing, and then incorperate the best of them into my ideas or change my focus because of them. - Wetzel [more]

It does sound like your main breaker is broken (by failing to break reliably).

The only other possibility I can think of is that you have some dangly wires or unfortunately placed bolts somewhere, and your chassis is intermittently completing the circuit around the breaker.

(Pay no attention to the comments about the backup battery. It won't power the Victor fans or the breaker panel LED, and the RC firmware shuts off after five seconds without main power anyway.)
