    That set has a charging ammeter, unless the battery is low you won't see much out of it

    Runaway MEP-003a !!!

    Take this with a grain of salt as I am an electrician, but things that need checked: Sticking throttle linkage\govoner I'd start here as it sounds like as the units loaded it's compensating (as it should) the under load reduction it's not decreasing. When you pulled the emergency stop...

    It would be frequently that droops, if needed adjust it as needed. Beware though when the load lightens it will go the other way

    Converting a MEP 004A 005A 006A to single phase 240/120

    I have a 004 that has the zigzag conversion done that had a small control fire, I am strongly considering a full recontrol including the AVR. If you have some ideas to sandbox, I'd be game to try them.

    That knob just selects which voltage source the set meter is looking at all you really need to care about is l1-l0 l3-l0 and l1l3 for voltage notice the inner ring there is an l1 l2 l3 please direct the current meter so you should only really care about the l1 and l3 positions

    That makes it a utility set push the button in the side of the knob and push it into make gross adjustments down or push the button and pull to make gross adjustments up turning the knob counter clockwise and clockwise make fine adjustments with no load set it to about 61-62 Hertz using a...

    Below the control panel into the right is there a throttle control knob? Not the rheostat on the panel

    I'm not really looking at the diagram right this second but I was under the impression that it wouldn't crank if the speed switch was tripped I could be wrong my memory is not what it used to be

    @mwhiddon look at this messgae, I aim to please. there is so much back and fourth on ratings, I have loaded a zig zag 004 to 110% without issue, reguardless, hes so massively oversized i doubt he will max this thing

    Mep 006a

    The colors on the gauge is correspond to the maximums for the different frequencies this set was designed to be used on both American and European equipment that require different frequencies so if you're running at 60 hertz the maximum Mark is the red mark on the percentage meter if you're...

    Did it do that before the modification? Rough math you'll need about four to five to get it to 110% load

    Easy old ovens are a great load Bank just keep an eye on Facebook for people getting rid of them

    If you're having to hold the start switch up to keep it running there is a safety switch not being made probably oil pressure

    Mep 006a

    The way it's wired now is consistent with your average residential utility so you don't have to worry about a massive unbalanced damaging the head because you won't have that third leg to worry about being at 0 amps

    Mep 006a

    I'd say so the last thing you need to check is putting a load on and making sure the voltage stays somewhat stable
