My load reconnection switch(am/vm) might be spotty because I cycled it a couple turns and my volt meter quit working, so that switch is used in the breaker trip circuit? The burden resistors are used aswell? Because two of my burden resistors measure 1 ohm instead of 7.5...
I recently got an 803a that looks to be in good shape, I would guess around 2000 hrs based on the paint. It runs good but trips the main breaker and lights the overload lamp after 10 minutes at 6000w. Have any of you guys ran into this problem or know where I could start? I have looked at the...
If you meant the am,vm switch and phase selector switch, yes I had those in the correct position.
I spent a couple hours looking through the diagrams yesterday, I did not see an R3, but did see R10, 11, and 12. They are the 7.5 ohm resistors just behind the control panel on the lh side. Does...
The day tank is necessary because it keeps the unit from having to be primed if you run out of fuel, also instead of bogging and "brown out" possibly harming your equipment, it cuts out all at once. The IP is designed to be gravity fed, and having the pumps feed it directly may cause issues.
If...
I am running single phase, I will have to look for that % power selector switch. Thank you.
I began to load test the unit, at 6500 watts the breaker tripped after about 5 minutes under load. I read the sticky at the top for the 003 and it mentioned the R3 setting could be off. Is the 803 R3...
I ran a 5600 Ford on wvo, wmo, diesel, gas blend for alittle over 3000 hrs, the exhaust would glow red and it ran progressively worse. I decided to have the ip and injectors rebuilt. The guy rebuilding them said the pump looked terrible, that he had remanned 20,000 hr units with less wear and...
I just purchased a 803a and am trying to get a few things sorted on it.
Where can I find a replacement hour meter, Delks maybe? The one that is on it stuck at 220 hrs.
Also, noticed the percent loaded meter would not budge when starting my air compressor, I would think it would jump when...
Thanks guys!
Unit was remanned and had 160hrs on it. It now has 1500hrs. And it is actually a mep 113a that I put a Georgia Generator ST head in. Just the standard enclosure..
I am not positive it is a headgasket, as I havent tore it down yet. It shutdown about 4 hrs into a run, the oil had...
