    Mep 803a no AC

    Correct, I do offer a replacement for the A1 Voltage Regulator. Yes it works even if the Quad Winding is bad. Failure of the Voltage Regulator due to its internal diode bridge shorting out is linked to when the set is started. So it may have failed just as you started it recently. Voltage...

    Mep 803a no AC

    Gary, The resistance spec for the MEP-803A Quad winding is only 0.9053 to 1.224 ohms. When measured with a common DMM it's will appear to be be shorted. Common DMM's don't measure really low resistances well. Based on your description of the "Fuse Mod" fuse repeatedly blowing generally...

    MEP 802a/803a reliability in the field

    K4 is the Overvoltage Relay. It's actually one of the black box's bolted down behind the control panel. It's the first black box to the left of S14. Not that I'm aware of. Sometimes you have to piece the info together using the -24 and -24P. There is a table in the -24 in the schematics that...

    Here is an updated picture with the function labelled on top of each relay. S14 is the Frequency Trip Switch. Responsible for sensing when engine RPM > 900 RPM. Causes K16 to open and close. K12 is the Fault relay. It activates if the sets Fault Monitor detects a fault. Causes set to shut...

    MEP 802a/803a reliability in the field

    I believe Guy's post mentioning "Plastic Relay" was referring to the relay common to the row of relays behind the control panel. Specifically K12, K15, K16, K19 & K20 They are all KUP-14D15-24 Potter & Brumfield relays S14 is the oddball Frequency Trip Switch (of which you have 2 heading your way)

    If you find the Quad winding is bad I offer Voltage Regulators that will work in 802's and 803's with burned out Quad Windings.

    MEP-803A getting it to work,,,my first one!

    To my knowledge there were two different manufacturers of the Frequency Switch S14. The internals look slightly different but do the same function. The Aux Fuel Pump operation does not rely on the fuel level sender for the fuel gauge. It is controlled by a separate float switch in the fuel tank.

    Looking for 70-1599 Diode Mep 005a or 006a

    Simple, just buy a bridge rectifier rated at 400 PRV and use 3 out of 4 of its terminals. Use the + and the two AC input terminals. Plus terminal to L2 and two AC terminals to the other inputs.
