    Mep004 circuit to replace faulty voltage regulator. This was designed by member peapvp for use until he could rebuild and update the operating l.

    I have lived by the old saying "chrome don't get you home" and I agree with Peter it isn't pretty, but it does work flawlessly. I used this setup for approx. 12-15 hours for back-up. Storms and living in the woods doesn't always keep the lights on. I tried to go back and see the cost of parts...

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

    Can it be set up to manually excite? The generator doesn't automatic start.

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

    Peter, if there is a possibility that the 054 is damaged, I will not replace it with another one. I am only trying to have this for emergency use until I can get the VR shipped and rebuilt. Is there any way to check the unit without having to buy anything else? Am I beating a dead horse? I don't...

    mep004 reads 0 phase to phase 480 phase to ground

    A to C .8 volts, F1to F2 .003vdc running with main contactor on, pushbutton pushed and released. Not running 24vdc @ pushbutton 1.7 volt across F1-F2 with button down. I looked and don't have a 24v relay unless there is one in the old vr box.

    Thanks for the reply, I will start back on it this morning. I don't have a 24v relay here, will try to get one from Caterpillar tomorrow if i can. There aren't any supply houses close by have to order everything. I will get the voltage measurements you asked for. Thanks, again, Mike

    Should the original vr box be disconnected? Both connectors?

    mep004 reads 0 phase to phase 480 phase to ground

    I think I'm in over my head. Is there a simple way to test gen leads with a voltmeter to make sure gen is still good? As much as I would like to keep what I have, if the gen is bad, would I not be better off to replace it with a more modern gen head? Power was off again for 5 hours this morning...

    mep004 reads 0 phase to phase 480 phase to ground

    Gentlemen, I am working on information given to me by a member jamawieb. He said he had used this set up with the ADVR 54 and the momentary push button, diode and resistor on different generators. Long story short start switch corroded a lug and had to replace. Worked after replacement. Future...

    mep004 reads 0 phase to phase 480 phase to ground

    Replaced regulator static exciter with aftermarket advr 54 and added exciter circuit. Get 0 volts phase to phase 480 phase to ground. Any ideas?
