    MEP 007b engine electrical issues

    I do have the TM's, I have read them -12 & -24 (I am still at a loss as to why there is a day tank at all on this genset). I spoke with Cat mechanic shop and they say, bypass the day tank and pump straight to the engine if possible since any excess will bypass internal check and return to the...

    MEP 007b engine electrical issues

    Red, (or others) Did you solve this issue? I have a 007B with 3306 cat doing the exact same thing. Even with Battle short on, the 2 lift pumps do not receive any power. Diodes C27 and C28 were bad, I changed them, still no power to the pumps. Re-set the mag pickup (ran it in until it touched the...

    Automatic / Manual Fieldflash with aftermarket AVR on MEP004A / 005A

    Thanks for all the feedback on this; I ended up not going with the SX460 and instead replaced all the diodes on the board with heavier 1000v/2A diodes. Did this and gen fired right up no problem.

From my reading, if you have 5vdc-'ish' at the poles in residual power, you can flash it. I know some folks on here add a push button to make a...

    Good afternoon, I am working with a MEP-005a, trying to install the SX460 for the Voltage Regulator but not sure what other items from the Static Exciter portion of A11 should be removed. The generator is currently setup for 120/208 3-phase. Just looking to see what you ended up doing on yours...

    Automatic / Manual Fieldflash with aftermarket AVR on MEP004A / 005A

    Good morning, bumping this thread. Same issue as noted in the thread, A11 Voltage Regulator (internal board) as pictured has all blown diodes (SEE PIC. M2). Generator at full RPM has 1.7VAC at the main posts in the 120/208 3Phase configuration. I need clarity on where my SX460 ties into the...
