Sure, should not be a problem.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Not sure of your intent, however I seem to recall reading somewhere on this site that you are not supposed to disconnect the batteries while the genset is running. I thought it had something to do with the voltage regulator not having a load on it. So if you were able to start a MEP-002a/003a without batteries and then disconnect the slave source that would be the same as disconnecting a battery. Am I right or confused about that?do you think the 1.5 will start an MEP oo3a even if the MEP 003a doesn't have any batteries?
1,500 watts ÷ 28 volts = 53 amps. Even with some overload capacity of the 28v generator, it seems a bit low to be able to start an 003A. If it's been done and I'm wrong, I'll take it all back.
Check my signature file.i was of the opinion there is an aftermarket VR for the DC that can be used that allows the set to be run without batteries. again i may be wrong
Yes, I have two units that I use. Great little generator (28v). Won't start a stone dead truck but will charge up low batteries in about 10 minutes. Starts a 002/003 with no problem. Haven't tried a generator without batteries. A buddy of mine has several in stock, PM if interested.I have been thinking about getting a military surplus 28 volt generators as a battery charger and as a jump starter for my 24 volt stuff. has anyone ever used one?
