Not very much information in your problem troy but you might be drawing more amps than your producing. I had bought a nice little Craftsman electric tire pump but my Yamaha kept dying. After reading the labels, my 2400IS puts out 15 amps and my tire pump needed 18 amps, my friend now has a nice tire pump for his home use. I've seen post that RVers have to add the "booster" kit to start their air conditioners, extra power is needed to start them after that the 2400 can run them. Just a thought, try reading the metal tag on what your trying to run and see how many amps it needs. Anything over 15 will shut you down and some will need that extra "boost" to get them started. I seem to think I read somewhere that it is about $75.00 for the Yamaha booster kit.

Electronics repairs

Check its main board circuit for any short circuited component on it. Especially check the horizontal scan output transistor. If it is leaky, ti will place an overload to voltages comes out from SMPS circuit, and the set will shut down, due to an overload, and this is a protection. check it. google.com/+GopakumarGopalan

Is you Power Positive wire the same, Also as you say, Check your Earth. Sometimes a Fan on the output devices helps.

Malibu transformer shuts down early

Well, you're overloading the transformer by 30 watts. It's doing what it's supposed to do when overloaded...shut down. It's the _other_ (works fine) transformer that you should worry about possibly starting a fire, since it's not shutting down when overloaded.

Overload protection

Doe this always go into overload independent of the volume level? Try disconnecting the speakers completely and running the set. Does the set shutdown then too?

Thanks,

Denon AVR 3600 sound gone

this happened to me once and I found that my reciever would just shut down. make sure that you have plenty of space above the amp. it may be over heating and shutting down on you and when it cools down, it turns back on. there will most likely the "overload" light will be lit when it shuts down the audio.

hope that helps

Pfaff Creative Vision embroidery/sewing machine says motor overload then shuts down

I had the same problem and it was my power supply. I've had more than my share of problems with this machine and it's only 3.5 years old. Good luck.

Dryer shuts down in the middle of the cycle before the timer goes off. if you try to restart it will not. wait 15 minutes or so and it starts right back up and finishes drying the load.

Probably the motor is getting too hot and the thermal overload switch is shutting it down.Usually means bad motor or dirty motor. You'll have to take it apart to see. Model # and Brand would help.

Overload...

Pioneer posted this on it's Canadian Web Site:

Poor wiring connections, bad wires or a bad speaker may cause this. As you increase the volume, you will increase the amount of current you are drawing from the receiver. To troubleshoot this issue, try the following:
  1. Disconnect each speaker wire connection. Inspect for any frayed or damaged wiring and replace it.
  2. Check the impedance of the speakers; make sure they are properly rated for your stereo. In most cases, they need to be 8 ohms. Only a few Pioneer receivers will support lower impedance.
  3. If the problem still continues, try these steps:
    1. Turn the receiver off.
    2. Remove one speaker.
    3. Turn the receiver on.
    4. Increase the volume.
If the receiver overloads, repeat steps 1-4 (selecting a different speaker each time). If you disconnect a certain speaker and the receiver no longer overloads, have this speaker checked at a service center. It could have a bad speaker component, like a tweeter, sub-woofer, or even a bad crossover.
