Hello genset experts,
We got a MEP 1050 from GovPlanet that is 3three phase and recently we had a licensed electrician come out to give us an estimate on the cost of hooking it up to our home. He said we need to switch the MEP-1050 from three phase to single phase and I do not know how or even...
@LuckeyD - Thank you for all your knowledge and help. I think I have the red dip switches in the correct positions. Here is a photo:
I am still trying to figure out the 3665 fault code / error. I do not think there is a short after digging into the wiring harnesses and the wire that is...
@FarmingSmallKubota - Our's is missing, but @Guyfang set us up with a PDF we didn't have so we are grateful.
The good news is that our control panel looks new inside:
I removed the screen thinking that the crud was on the inside but it turns out the crud is not on the inside or outside...
@Guyfang - OK, I guess you mean let's start at the beginning and work through it. Reminds me of this:

@Guyfang - Thank you, I did not have that one. Everything helps! I looked on all the doors again just now and nothing. In TM 9-6115-751-10 it implies that the label would be on one of the document boxes on the inside of the doors but mine does not have it. I also did not see any hopes where...
@Guyfang - I have been looking for a schematic / wiring diagram and all I found was in the TM 9-6115-751-10 in the form of a label. I cannot find this label on my generator unless it is installed under a panel I need to remove.
Is there any other wiring schematic that will help me track...
@peapvp & @Guyfang - Thank you. I was able to spend some time last evening looking into the wiring and control panel. Here are some photos of what I found:
The wire that we've been referring to as burned appears on closer inspection to be gnawed or chewed and / or possible just rough-handled...
@peapvp - Thank you for your reply. Do you mean I should test all wiring before reconnecting this cut / broken wire shown in my above photos?
Do you think this cut / broken wire could be the reason I have the 3665 fault code?
I haven't been able to work on our MEP-1050 for a while and the new air cleaner housing came a few days ago and I was able to get that mounted this morning before the sun heats up. The new air cleaner housing came with a filter element cartridge so the one I bought from Amazon will be a spare...
@Guyfang - Cool, thank you. I've been on some boards where they get upset when one strays off the topic.
Still waiting on that air cleaner housing. We are having a heatwave here lately and some other stuff has taken priority but I hope to get back into working on this unit soon. I think I...
@Guyfang - Ok, and Thank you. Sometimes I feel impatient to get this unit running, but I want to do it right and not break it any more than it already may be.
The banjo bolt, seal/washers and filter element arrived but am waiting on the new air cleaner housing. UPS says it is stuck somewhere...
@Guyfang - I used this one: MEP AMMPS 1050 -24 24P Manual small
@Guyfang - Yes, that helps a lot, thank you.
@Guyfang - I did not try looking through that manual as I thought I needed the "MEP AMMPS 1050 -24 24P Manual small" which I think is the same as "TM_9-6115-751-24P". I did save the...
