Actually the military called it the "reconnection switch continuity" Table, it is what is connected to whatever in whichever switch position, clear enough?

OK I just found table 2-4 in TM9-6115-584-24P, the MEP uses the double delta as above, so we are off to the races, although I may use the "preferred" ZIG ZAG

Here is an example of single phase connections, note this is NOT the MEP diagram although I am sure it would also work fine, there are many different ways to get to the same point!!

Has anyone removed the reconnect switch and hard wired one for single phase? I have found the "standard" reconnect wiring diagrams for Onan generators and that looks straight forward but trying to compare that with the TM 5-6115-584-34 Table 6-5 "reconnection switch continuity" is a nightmare...

Also Isaac I had to cringe when you mentioned Tantalum capacitors, I am also a radio tech and a Ham and restore and operate allot of Harris equipment and the Tantalum capacitor is by FAR the least dependable component in any radio and if I were king they would be outlawed as they don't just fail...

Actually Isaac you have a point, if this machine was in working condition I would not even consider this radical modification, If it works don't screw with it! But as I said there are some disturbing problems, add to that My desire to do this modification and the perfect storm appears on the...

She will not have to, she will have a calibrated spare and only 4 wires to change, in fact I might even put a molex plug on it for her, also P9 is totally fried on this machine and what ever caused it not withstanding I don't like changing those plugs and the phase switch looks to have some...

Because it is designed to be powered bu CVT1 and the A4 board and as I said all that will be gone, it is not necessary in the single output role, the "universal" regulator just uses residual output from the generator output to power the field coil and is really cheap (under $200) and it also has...

I saw a thread some time ago asking what folks had done to “civilize” the MEP-002A I have always considered the MEP as an over engineered piece of equipment. Well the latest MEP-002A I bought is going to my sisters ranch in the hill country and she will never need the capability to switch...

I like to tell folks that I talk to myself because I enjoy having conversations with highly intelligent people LOL

Well some moron actually wired the relay incorrectly switching A1-2 Ground with A1-4, it did fry one side of the contacts, that's why it would start but not continue to run when I got it,now it will start with the relay installed in ether direction but will continue to run only when installed in...

OH WAIT, I can just reverse the leads on A1- and A1-2, be back in a minute

Wow, I just figured out there is an internal diode across the coil of K1 and what would be a perfectly symmetrical relay that could be plugged in ether way can only be installed in one direction or the diode across the coil will short the line to ground tripping cb2, but plugged in correctly the...

It seems I have allot of conversations with myself here, not sure if that would be considered normal,,,LOL the diodes are under the "mount" for K1 all part of A1

OK so it appears that K1 and A1 are the same thing, only A1 has many more wires than the prints show also the prints show things like A1-5/A1-6 AND A1-7/A1-8 as diodes If the relay is installed it blows CB2 as soon as the run switch is turned but it is not anything to do with K1 marked as A1-3...

Well I need to know what is supposed to be connected together, any insite on what caused the fire??

Found it!

well my latest treasure is not working out so well, engine runs fine but all of a sudden P9 (one of the 12 wire gen output plugs) caught on fire (this is not a good sign) a couple pins are pretty crispy and I need the truth table for S6 I see S8 and S1 on the main schematic (TM) but not S6 Craig

Well I drug home another MEP-002A and was looking over the schematic and noticed that it looks like if you select the AUX. pump selection the dang AUX. pump runs all the time and the tank switch only controls the fuel solenoid, sound outright crazy to me

I think you are correct, if I turn almost everything on it pulls at 135% no problem, I have read that these will produce 7kw near sea level, I have a 16KW on the auto transfer switch but it burns allot of Propane, if SHTF I can scrounge around for fuel for the MEP. I also have a 3kw Lister/Onan...
