MEP-002A No Fuel and DC Breaker Popping

Will arrive Tuesday. My biggest enemy on these toys is finding time on the weekends between home improvements before winter, and daylight. Gotta love the time every year when I leave for work in the dark, and come home in the dark.

Boy do I know what you mean ! If you work inside with no windows you never see the sun !

Kill a watt showed up earlier, and lucky me... she puts our 120 at the convenience outlet, and the throttle cable DOES change the hertz.

Has anyone ever tried something like this, as a replacement? Does not say its ruggedized, but I stumbled upon it earlier looking for something else.

JimC, a member here makes these. I just put the full compliment on my 002. I've never heard any complaints/concerns about them.

Same here, I did the full 3 gauge set on one of my generators and it has worked quite well. I don't have a lot of hours on the set yet. I really like the readability of these gauges and the fact that I can now monitor loads on each leg of my 120/240 household circuit when generator is in use. Makes it easy to load balance when necessary.

Edit: The benefit to the OP is that it doesn't matter if his Hz gauge or Transducer is bad, Jim's digital gauge has everything it needs to read frequency built into it. As I recall, it was an easy ~15-20 min install for the Hz gauge. Installing the full set of 3 gauges takes quite a bit more time due to having to open up the voltage distribution box and installing wiring harness, etc.

Jimc makes these and they are great. I've used them on my personal units and have about 1000 hours on them and no problems.

I'll jump on the bandwagon here and add my 2 cents. Jim's gauges look great, run great, and are just great !
