    MEP-802A How many hours on full tank of diesel?

    Fully loaded .5 gallons per hour so 10hrs. Under very light load you can get up to 14hrs. I've done a lot of testing on the 802a and 803a's for fuel consumption.

    Drash Genset ECU Trailer

    Poccur has a huge amount of knowledge with these so listen. I assume someone retro fitted the screw on terminals because I havent seen them on a HDT unit. The ones that screw on probably go to the slave receptacle which are not needed unless you wanted to jump it off.

    Miscommunication…………..

    Unfortunately if someone is too lazy to read the instructions on the item they are installing, they shouldn't be doing it. We post to give guidance not to make an instruction manual. The AVR dip switches are for different voltage configurations, because someone doing it in 240v configuration...

    Question to all MEP 004A 005A owners in reference to the AVR 11

    I think it would be a great idea. I've never seen 1 person ask about paralleling the larger sets.

    804a fuel priming

    The part circled in blue is the pump. You have to unscrew it so you can pump it

    804a fuel priming

    Im sorry I was thinking of the bulb pump. I have replaced the hand pump in the referenced picture. I googled the tm part number and found it on Amazon.

    804a fuel priming

    I buy my hand pumps at Oreillys autoparts. They have them in the marine section.

    3 Phase to single phase 240VAC / 60 Hz conversion by means of a Transformer

    Peter, lookup "Bar-Diamond" configuration for single phase conversion. PM me for more information as I'm still in testing phase for conversions.

    mep004 reads 0 phase to phase 480 phase to ground

    It should be showing some kind of voltage with those readings. The rotating diodes inside the head are known to fail. Easy access below the gauge cluster. Have to take the panel off the back of the head to gain access

    Yes sir that is it.

    mep004 reads 0 phase to phase 480 phase to ground

    From the 24v breaker to the monetary push button. From the push button to the resistor, after the resistor, the diode, then from the diode to F1 buss bar. I did put the exact same diode going from f+ on the vr to the buss bar F1 to make sure it wouldnt back feed and hurt the VR. F2 is connected...

    mep004 reads 0 phase to phase 480 phase to ground

    I could never get the jc- Looks like you have it correct. Did you check the glass fuse on the VR?

    Missing handle on a M116A3? (PU-797 recovery)

    I have someone that made a couple for me. Exact replica of the original if anyone is interested. They would be around $75.

    mep004 reads 0 phase to phase 480 phase to ground

    Can you take a picture of your VR setup? Also make sure the glass fuse is still good on the VR. Very 1st thing to do is make sure while your pressing the push button your getting voltage to F1 on the buss bar. If its getting DC power, it will produce some sort of voltage as long as the gen head...

    mep004 reads 0 phase to phase 480 phase to ground

    Push button-resistor-diode fianlly to F1 on the 2 screw buss bar. Then i put the same exact diode from F+ on the VR to F1 on the same bus bar

    mep004 reads 0 phase to phase 480 phase to ground

    Years ago I wrote up my experience with converting a 005a with a advr-054. For the excitor I used a simple push button mounted next to the 24v breaker. I took 24v off the breaker over to the push button and then to F+. I put a 56ohm resistor (Dale CW-10) that is used in the 002-003a exciter...

    need advice/experience

    99% of the govplanet facilities will load items for you or your carrier. I haven't found one yet that didnt. I've bought all over the US and even Hawaii.

    Hollingsworth MEP-005a

    Your loose wire is going to the cannon plug for the flied flash. I've completed the conversion several times because the VR/Exciter box is the weak point in the system. But on my conversion I used a simple push button for the field flash instead of the complicated field flashing module. There is...
