    Default Volts constant but amps will fall off and run negative

    Plane: EX-2, 32 hours, Dynon Skyview, bought the power distribution kit and wired the plane like the Executive Glass Touch panel.

    Problem; intermittent negative amp readings, voltage remains constant (have verified the volts reading with a multimeter on the battery). I would guess this has happened 4/5 times in the past 32 hours. First occurrence, I pulled the 50 amp breaker (it did not pop), reset it and amps went back up to normal. I checked everything for loose connections, frayed, etc. Everything was fine . It happened again, breaker didn't pop, reset and amps returned to normal. Checked everything, no obvious faults, so I replaced the breaker. Now on the new breaker, same intermittent issue. Amps drop to negative and I reset the breaker and things return to normal.

    I cannot narrow it down to flight attitudes (takeoff, climb,....), it just happens.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Dan
