Fourier Panthere Amp Shuts Down--Help

OTL Asylum

OTL, Output Transformerless Amplifier User Group.

Hi, everyone:
I have some of the later Fourier Components Panthere monoblocks and a problem has recently started. The problem is intermittent but occasionally one of the amps shuts down after the 12 amp circuit breaker clicks open. I have to wait a minute or so until the breaker resets and then push in the little button, after which I can restart the amp. Sometimes the amps run for a good while before shutting down, while on other occasions it happens every 10-20 minutes. It seems to be worse in the middle of the day when there is more electricity usage in the house and only when both amps are running. I do have each amp on its own separate electrical circuit. The problem doesn't seem to hurt anything but is annoying, especially if the problem worsens. Any ideas as to what could be causing this? Could it be the circuit breaker itself or perhaps indicative of a problem in the amp? Thank you.
