One more thing, 59 hz is a lot quieter than 61 hz.

Solved… I finally found the problem, everything works fine now. Today’s troubleshooting started with unhooking P2, supplying 12VDC to F1 and F2, then looking for AC voltage on T2 and T5. This completely bypassed the control box, and proved that the generator was OK. Next, I went to find the...

Actually, I have 2 generators, and I am using what I have to get one going. So far, I have changed out the complete rotor assembly (first one had new diodes). Same results after changing rotor. I hope the diodes don't fool me, I have checked them by passing a couple amps at 12 volts through...

Thank You for the replys. Cranetruck, My windings read .2 - .3 ohms. I have 2 generator heads, and they are both read the same. Derf, I have applied up to 30 vdc to the field. AC output will go up as high as 50 volts. When I remove the DC, the AC drifts down. To test the control box...

Over the past couple weeks, I have been trying to get my recently purchased MEP-017 to "generate". I have read the manual, read posts on this forum, purchased a new voltage regulator, and have many hours invested. The voltage output is low (30 - 50 volts), the hz meter reads low and does not...
