Hey guys!
I have some trouble with the good old mep805A again!
So we just got hit buy a tropical storm here in Cancun, Mexico and everithing is wet and dirty. Yesterday after the storm gave a little, I went to the genset room to turn it on (some rain and wind came in through the windows but nothing too bad, humidity was 100% though) and it did fire up but I wasnt able to get the contactor to go to the close position till it ran for at least 30min and was all nice and hot, the reverse fault light would go on and the close switch would do nothing. After 30min or so of operation, once it was hot and dry i guess everithing went back to normal and we used it for 10hr straight @10-20% power with no issue. This morning I needed to power it up again was another story: since I got this genset, once the engine is running it wont go into flash filed by itselfe, you need to give the start switch a quick turn to start and let go back to prime and run for the Htz to flip from 40something to 60htz, then the genset will start dancing like it should. this morning, the engine fired up like usual but it reved a little less than usual which seemed odd, and once I fliked the start switch to start and back to prime and run the htz indicator jumps form 40htz to 57htz and then back to 40htz. Voltage will go to 220V and then back to 20 or something. Oviously undervoltage fault is on but strangely enough, if you keep the strat switch on start position, htz go to 60, voltage to 220 and you can get the fault to go away and the contactor to close and everithing works "normaly", when you release the start switch it all goes back to hell.
Thanks a lot!
