MOV Varistor Specs

[Tommytone]

I would like to find out what the specs are for the MOV (Varistor) used in an MEP 802a.

I want to order one but want to make sure what I order has the correct specs.

I looked at the tier 1 reset information and I see the fuse holder and fuse but not the MOV.

I have a 2011 and the fuse holder appear to be there and I understand they were factory after about 2008 or so.

The one I provide with MEP-802A & MEP-803A Fuse Mod Kits is PN: MOV-14D151K
---> MOV

The addition of the MOV is an enhancement that I came up with to help protect the A1 AC Voltage Regulator.
The Fuse Mod itself only protects the Quad winding in the gen head from getting damaged if the bridge rectifier circuit on the input side of the AC Regulator short out.

Kurt, can you remind me what the voltage rating of the diode bridge in the VR is?

The input bridge diodes in a VR I have apart are 1N5404's

Got it. With a 2011 with 6.5 hours, if that is relevant at all to the question, can I go ahead and run the unit to change the oil? Or should I be patient and just wait for the veristor?

It sounds like these are extremely inexpensive and you sell them in a kit, with the fuse and holder, but not alone correct. If that is a question I can even ask.

Everyone has two cents on the correct oil for any engine much less these. At the same time while I am asking things my thought is with a low original hour unit that has not even really been broken in to run more of a break in IE non synthetic oil with a zinc additive. If you have any insight here I would love to hear it.

Thanks again!

Yes, the MOV is very inexpensive. I just received a batch of them.
If you want I can ship you one with the wire lugs already on it.
PM me if interested.
