...explain this how-to as a way to add to any applicable generator (single phase). In other words, don't be restricted by the fact that the MEP016 only puts out 3KW. Just include the math so the correct designs can be applied to each unit. Thanks!
Hi all,
I am curious to see if someone could provide a tutorial and a parts list to be able to add a distribution panel w/some 120V outlets to my MEP-016. Is it as easy as running wires from the load terminals to a common breaker panel then on to some common 120V outdoor outlets? What math is...
Ok so, my genset definitely doesn't have a ground rod with it. Is there a simple kit on eBay or Amazon that a member would recommend? I'm anxious to crank this thing up and get working on another -005A I just bought :)
Thanks for the info. No it did not come with a ground rod. Do I need one even though there is no load hooked up to it? If I'm just starting it to run and test, is a ground rod required? I've run my MEP-831A and MEP-016D without getting zapped, though they were sitting directly on the ground with...

I did mention that I pulled the emergency stop button out and as far as I know the circuit breaker was pushed in. I opened the panel to check behind it and everything looked intact, connections-wise. I've owned an -831, -006, and -005 so I'd assume they all start similarly. Is there anything...
Hi all,
New member here! I was following CDR's journey sourcing his no start condition on his MEP-802A which led me to create an account and describe my own issues. The unit is low hours ~600 and appears to be in excellent shape. I've charged the batteries, but get no response to any input at...
