Took my MEP-802a to the car wash today, to get the oil residue off the sides and bottom of it. I couldn't be any happier with mine, once I found all the missing parts needed. DWnorton built a very cool power distribution box inside of a fat 50 ammo can for my genset, and it works very nicely. I am impressed with the build quality of the box.
Changed the power cord out on a clothes dryer today, which makes an awesome load bank for a 5kw genset. With the dryer set on high heat, it cycles the genset, and loads it to 90%. I can also add a 400 watt light, and a 750/1500watt space heater to the mix to get a combined load of 115%. Very impressed with MEP-802a, and will probably buy another.
I would also like to get a MEP-803a, just to see how much less the engine vibrates. Or I want try a MEP-831a on my RV. But most likely will stick to buying 802's or perhaps I will find a AMMPS 5kw genset with the Kubota 3 cylinder motor to bid on. I am really enjoying messing with the gensets, since the 5 tons dried up, and I have been learning a lot about electricity since buying the genset. A lot of great people on here, and would like to say thank you to everyone that has contributed to helping get me up and running.
