    MEP-806B New To Me: Undervoltage

    LPW2/4 12V starter suggestion

    If the 12volt loads aren't too big you could used a 24v to 12v buck converter to power the 12v loads. That way you'll be pulling power from both batteries and will help keep them balanced. Buck converters are very inexpensive.

    MEP 805B 806B screen dim/bright tool build

    They are built following the MCII Inc drawing number 29763. I added potting inside of the shrink tubing on the switch to prevent the cable from flexing to eliminate the wires from breaking. The picture below is the cable assembly minus the back shell for the 100 pin SCSI connector. (The back...

    MEP 805A GENERATOR

    The 31904QT is the wrong switch for S1. ☹ The 31904QT is actually the latest replacement for the S6 AM/VM switch. At least you have a spare for that now. 🙂 PM'd you

    Redux: MEP 803a no power to main lugs

    If the set sat unused for a long period of time corrosion may have crept into the various switch's such as S1, S5, S6, S8 and others. "Exercising" them with the set NOT running can help with any contact issues. Better yet spray contact cleaner such as Deoxit into the switch openings, if...

    MEP-804B Overvoltage Shutdown

    As I recall the exciter winding draws 1 amp or less from no load to full load. If the VR is putting out say 2 amps of current into the exciter I could see it overvolting and not blowing the 3 amp fuse.

    MEP-804B Overvoltage Shutdown

    Was the TRC VR you put in a known good one? Have you performed the tests in the -24 TM for the VR and the voltage adjust pot?
