Over Voltage issue on MEP-006

[BelongerJ]

[FONT="Georgia]Hi, we have a 60kw MEP-006 military generator built in 1982. When we start up, the over volt light comes on and shuts the generator down immediately. Looking for answers if anyone has one. Thanks[/FONT]​

Start the set. Hold the S1 start switch in the start position. Flip S7 up into the on position. Release S1. What happened. If it continues to run, mesure at 120 volt outlet. What do you get? Shut down the set. Report findings.

Welcome aboard from Nevada. Good Luck with getting your Gen Set squared away.

Is this a new gen set to you? Have you ever seen it run right. Do you have the manuals down loaded.

Hi, before your reply we removed the watt converted behind the control panel. then started the unit and it ran fine. so we put the watt converter back in and it is working good. not sure what happened. If there is anything else we need to check please let us know. Thanks for your input.

Its my experience that problems don't just go away. So I would test, test, test and test again. Start it up a few times a day for a week. Or what ever. It could have been just a problem with the relay. But you just don't know until you can see the problem again.
