    Mep 803a not powering past 25%

    Somethings not right if you're measuring 140 at the convenience outlet. You ought to take voltage measurements across L1 to L0, L3 to L0 and L1 to L3. You should get 120, 120, 240 respectively.

    MEP 803 return fuel line fittings

    I use a Dremel with a cut off wheel to cut the side of the metal collars and then just pry them off. Replace the hose with new, use a gentle bend in the hose and re-attach with some S.S. hose clamps.

    803A - No Load to Lugs

    Sound like you may not be getting 24 volts to the contactor terminal X when the set is running. Start the set and check for 24 volts at K20 terminal 6 & 9. K20 closes when the oil pressure come up. 24 volts come into K20 on terminal 9 and out terminal 6 to provide 24 colts to the X terminal of...

    MEP 804A Won't Start

    It's the addition of a fuse holder and fuse next to the A1 AC Voltage Regulator. It's a fuse to protect the static exciter from being damaged should the AC Voltage Regulator fail. It's detailed in TB 11-6115-741-24 section 5.4

    First real use of Mep-803 | Praises and problems (albeit little)

    You need to be looking in the generator TM 9-6115-642-24 on how to test the OP gauge and the OP sender. The OP senders tend to be the culprit.

    MEP-831 inverter troubleshooting

    If it doesn't shut off due to Low OP fault it's likely either the Governor Controller isn't working properly or the mechanical settings of the governor have been fiddled with. The low OP fault may be due to a bad LOP switch. They fail with some frequency in the 831s. The OP is usually about...

    MEP-831 inverter troubleshooting

    Is the generator new to you? Has it worked properly in the past? I assume you mean the Overload/Short Circuit fault lamp illuminates and the contactor opens.

    MEP-803A Batteries & Long Term Use

    Here in New England my 802 got a pair of Duracell branded 51R's back in 2016 or 2017. They are still going strong. I use two 12 volt Battery Tender chargers, one on each battery. They are on constant maintenance charge when not in use. About every 2-4 weeks I start and stop it a 15 times in an...

    First real use of Mep-803 | Praises and problems (albeit little)

    A suggestion would be to plumb in an accurate mechanical OP gauge and see what the oil pressure really is. Yes, the Remote Starts OP reading is in 5 PSI increments. It should be OK to tweek the calibration of the Remote to report 25 PSI if the actual PSI is 20. The Remote is watching the OP to...

    Good catch Ray. The same is true for the current meter. I updated my previous post.

    Percent of rated current

    According to the -10 TM it should display readings regardless if it's running stand alone or in parallel. Stand alone operation...
