Volvo Penta KAMD 300 2003

I have twin volvo diesel engines on a 2003 Pursuit 3000 offshore.

Just bought it and I started to have problems with the port side engine.

When the supercharger kicks on, the engine goes into safe mode; idle at 1500 rpm and you can't shut it off unless you reset the breaker in the black box on top of the engine.

I can run both engines if I disconnect the port supercharger but it will not go over 2100rpms

Replace the alternator and the supercharger clutch but the problem remains.

As soon as you start the engine it pops one the breaker.

Thoughts?
