Gene,

One detail.  Is the breaker only tripping when you turn OFF 
the SSR?  If so, this actually makes a lot of sense.  Some 
SSRs have a self-protective function that turns the SSR on 
for a half-cycle if an overvoltage is experienced.  (This is 
usually an avalanche section built into the SCR or Triac 
component.)  If this gets triggered on shutoff of the 
transformer due to leakage inductance in the primary 
winding, it could get stuck in this mode until the breaker 
pops.  You might be able to fix it by putting a big snubber 
across the SSR.  Since the direct-feed SSR has a beefy 
resistor across it, it seems like it might be the SSR that 
is turned on first that would be susceptible to this mode.  
But, you might try it on both - or put it spanning BOTH 
SSRs.  Something like .01 uF and 10 Ohms in series might be 
where to start.
