    What is a good mobile set up for using my MEP 803A

    The 208 leg is because the way the Neutral is tapped. A "Y" system taps in the center and Delta System taps it in the middle of a winding which causes a unequal (higher) voltage on one leg to the neutral tap. Think of the Delta as a Triangle of windings then Tap off the middle of one. You get...

    Difference between 1995 and 1996 M1078 Truck I did search?

    I meant to say from 1995 to 1998 years. But it seems to be pretty much the same. I did wonder on the guard under the air tanks not being there. I was just going have one bent for me at the welding shop in town. The bend steel for me off and on. Bent the steel for my Power Wagon Dump Bed then I...

    What is a good mobile set up for using my MEP 803A

    You can always use a 4/wire cord and every other junction box alternate between the legs to balance the neutral load. Then at each box you could have 240VAC if needed or both. Then run the wild leg 208 out on a 4way cord for 240 volt only to put it into use for 240 volt loads. That way you...

    Difference between 1995 and 1996 M1078 Truck I did search?

    Great this sounds good. I got it off EBay. The owner decided to buy the tractor model and had been driving this one and said a lot of good things about the driving and running part. Still waiting for it to get here the hurricane messed up the delivery this week from Florida to WA. All I have so...

    Difference between 1995 and 1996 M1078 Truck I did search?

    It has the 3116 225 HP engine. So the drive shaft is the same too? No real change in electronics on the engine too?

    Tired of the EUC delay BS...

    OK Wow anyway, Guess I was lucky my seller got the title for mine and I talked to our DMV in Washington State it was not going to be a problem making it a WA Title from a Florida one. Last thing I will mention is that it is a Military Vehicle cause it dose not need inspected. Going to cost...

    You will need cords to go where you need power? You could use one cord in a Daisy Chain set up cost more and has limits to where people park to use it.

    What is a good mobile set up for using my MEP 803A

    That is a nice generator I am a little jealous I don't have it! Looks like it has a 208 wild leg, 2 -120 volt legs and Single & 3 phase 240. Very useful for motors too. Just buy a 3 ph 100 amp panel and take your circuits out of it you need.3 ph 100 A Panel

    What is a good mobile set up for using my MEP 803A

    Before my suggestion gets hammered. How much money do you want to spend, Is your Generator Hard Wired or do you have multiple outlets of different amperage and voltages? Are you supplying power to RVs 30 amp or 50 amp 120 volts. 40 ft RV's just some campers needing lights at night. Cheaper to...

    200amp Dual Voltage 28/14v Alternator with 12v Accessories Question

    That is different then what I am talking about. You have a 12VDC also charging the battery you getting voltage from. I was just talking about a strait 24VDC System not a split system with "12VDC/24VDC" charging ability.

    200amp Dual Voltage 28/14v Alternator with 12v Accessories Question

    Not a good idea to bring only one down and the others stay up when in series / parallel connection to get 24 VDC. Best to just convert the 24VDC to 12VDC and still have a equalize battery set up. Like in the post above.

    Another WC63 found...

    That is in great shape and worth a lot of money in parts! My 48 Power Wagon had a WC63 frame and drive axles from the cab back. I restored it myself. Completely went thru everything and it was pretty good inside. Your only missing the Windshield and seats to speak of and the body looks great...

    200amp Dual Voltage 28/14v Alternator with 12v Accessories Question

    No it is just for my stereo that is all. Later I will switch it over to the 12 volt panel. Nice to have music when working on it or driving at times. Everything is surface mount using existing screws to hold the stereo above the dash. It is this one. Has a Back Up Camera too. I may just tap the...

    200amp Dual Voltage 28/14v Alternator with 12v Accessories Question

    I am putting a Surface Mount Stereo in my M1078 that uses 12VDC and has a USB Port to charge Phones too. So I am going to install a 24VDC to 12VDC Solid State Chip that will handle 5 Amps at 12VDC. For now I will use the 24VDC till I tap in a Marine Rated Water Proof Sub Panel for 12 VDC...
