    MEP-803A Amperage/load questions

    Quite simply Add load Long answer: wetstacking can be an issue however it doesnt happen overnight. What i do is after an outage or on a periodic basis wire in a set of heaters and let it bake. If you are really concerned that it needs to happen now any heavy load appliance will do ( Bake a...

    003a breaker trips when loaded

    There is nothing preventing you from : A. Turning on the generator with line power available B. Turning the generator on during an outage with the house main in the closed position. The only thing preventing the generator current from reaching outside of your home is a written procedure of...

    003a breaker trips when loaded

    You are setting yourself up for a massive injury to yourself or others. To properly feed your house you need at minimum an interlock to prevent generator current from ever leaving your home. Using the generator lugs as a feed through to power your air compressor is a big nono. Sent from my...

    Mep-005A Voltage Regulator replacement and single phase conversion

    I would go over everything you moved and double check connections. Then you need to see what voltage the avr is seeing Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    Mep-005A Voltage Regulator replacement and single phase conversion

    Where are you getting the sense from? It needs to come from L1 and L3. If you are using L2 it could cause this Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    Mep-005A Voltage Regulator replacement and single phase conversion

    I did the single phase conversion on the 005. The same one I did the avr on however the avr mod I did is significantly different than the one you did. Not to mention the single phase conversion I do is a touch different physically (not electrically). So we would be comparing green apples to red...

    Mep-002a gets 240 at the lugs, but control box gauge says 120.

    Dont feel bad, I recently did a service call on an inoperable machine, Short version is they tend to work better with the Emergency stop Not pressed.

    We recently had a buss bar failure when manually driving object over the track. 400 amps at 480 make a good boom. No injuries btw, just some soiled shorts

    003a breaker trips when loaded

    First off. Ground Ground Ground. You might just have way too much inrush. I tried a 003 with a 3 phase motor welder and it did the same thing. Load testing showed the breaker and generator to be just fine, so the inrush was the problem. If it turns out the breaker is failing, Good luck...

    Mep-005A Voltage Regulator replacement and single phase conversion

    This diagram shows 3 phase. But it can be configured as such. I do believe it's important to point out that the field rating is 15 to 100 ohms. The 005 field is 2-4 ohms. Other members have made it work but it is out of spec

    Mep-005A Voltage Regulator replacement and single phase conversion

    The one I've done required 3 aftermarket regulators and some rectifier assembles. I need to find my notes first though. There's another thread here where someone used a single unit, but it isn't within the field windings specs so I can't explain how it's still working.

    Personally of it were me. I'd retrofit.

    Mep-005A Voltage Regulator replacement and single phase conversion

    There is a test procedure for them, they are repairable with some skill. There are some aftermarket replacements that can be used but they require some rework to function

    Mep-005A Voltage Regulator replacement and single phase conversion

    Theres a few things that can be bad in that particular chain. The long hold of the start switch help eliminate some variables
