mep 802a -- mep803a source for panel meters

[zarathustra]

Does anyone have a known source for the panel meters on the 802/803?

Specifically, the 60 Hz meter, the % of rated current meter, and the AC voltmeter.

All the others are fairly straightforward, but I'm having some difficulty in finding the above three.

Try member musgrovem, he was parting out some 802a's I'm not sure what he has left.

Thanks -- I don't believe he has any. His gens came from Crane, and they were stripped of gauges.

Still looking.....

A little digging found a reference to Ideal Meter part number 11707 for percent rated current.

I have all three out of a unit I'm switching to Digital control.

that is the freq meter

 

[Crabbie]

that is the freq meter

No, It is a gauge for percent rated current

No, It is a gauge for percent rated current

ok, i see the problem, that is not a part number, it is the cage code for that manufacturer and everything they make will have that number as their cage number.

That sounds interesting. Would you mind sharing some more details? Perhaps in the separate thread?

The 11707 meter is not exactly the same as the "normal" one in an 802/803. However the differences center around the ability to withstand an EMP attack. In all other aspects they are the same thing.

Well, I don't think that we are in danger of an EMP attack at present, so the 11707 would make an excellent substitute.

Note to CRABBIE --- excellent discovery -- ya done good!!

that's because when you search for 11707, you get all the meters they make. if you are not pickey about match there are many on e***

actual part numbers are:
freq 72-5016 or 638-18049
amp 72-5007-1 or 72-5007-2
volt 72-5008
