    MEP 002A stock gauges useless after sx460 conversion? One more question

    Sorry about that, but thank you just wanted to see if the frequency gauge would still work for initial setup and testing, getting a set of digital gauges for it soon

    MEP 002A stock gauges useless after sx460 conversion? One more question

    Is there any way to use the stock gauges after the conversion? If I understand right I wont be able to use the LOAD or VOLTAGE gauges anymore due to them requiring CVT1 and CT1 for operation which are not used in the conversion, though i'm unsure about the frequency gauge, the Frequency gauge is...

    MEP 002a sx460 AVR conversion 7.5 amp breaker trippping.

    After looking at the wiring diagrams, I think I'm going to rewire it like you, add a relay to control the fuel control solenoid, to retain the engine protection. and Use a push button with a diode to control the Flash circuit and to isolate the field wiring from the 24V to 12V converter. Not...

    MEP 002a sx460 AVR conversion 7.5 amp breaker trippping.

    I was following your conversion. Though if I under stand right A1 also controls the two shut down features protecting the engine from overheating and low oil? I was thinking possibly adding a 24v to 12v step down transformer, and a spdt relay and or diode to isolate the flash circuit from the...

    MEP 002a sx460 AVR conversion 7.5 amp breaker trippping.

    Ok i have my Mep rewired for a sx460 AVR, now it keeps poping the 7.5 amp breaker on the front of the machine and shutting down. I removed P60A from the A1 relay. That stoped poping the breaker, but the engine will only keep running when held in the start position, and then the generator will...

    MEP 002A generator exciter issue.

    the AC regulator board was just fine it was the cvt1 that failed parts that are harder to find and expensive to replace, but for a genest that is almost 30 years old no complaints, just meant by bringing it into the 21st was giving it digital gauges, and ridding it of its old style canister...

    Modifying the MEP-002A and MEP-003A generators SX460 AVR

    p67 and p60 are the wires that go to the field right? they are the only 16ga wires that go back to the generator with the 8ga T1-12 wires?

    MEP 002A generator exciter issue.

    Rustystud's conversion is the one I'm following and I can take pics. Will likely be adding a set of digital gauges, and likely updating the filters to the spin on style someday soon. Briging the old girl into the 21st century lol

    HOBART DCC-353-P welder contorl box

    Does anyone have any experience rewiring a Hobart DCC-353-P welder to work without the control module box? To make it work more like the civilian version? On the Military Spec version they added a vane type on board air compressor a Hydrovane 25 and made a few other changes. The Welder I have...

    MEP 002A generator exciter issue.

    Well I finally got into tearing it apart, when I pulled CVT1 not only did it not pass the checks, it had clearly melted down and burnt up on the end marked A so found where the smoke I was told about was coming from. Also got my 460SX AVR and prepping it to install, planning to do away with...

    MEP 002A generator exciter issue.

    c1 to c2 8.3 ohm h1toh2 0.5 ohm h3 to h4 11.4 ohm h5 to h6 2.6 ohm x1 to x2 1.8 ohm x1 to x3 1.8 ohm x2 to x3 1.8 ohm I'm considering converting it over to an AVR 460. Also is there any easy way to get the CVT1 transformer out ?

    MEP 002A generator exciter issue.

    Well I tested CTV1 and it was way out of tolerance, would seem it has failed. CT tested out fine, recommended course of action? I can't seem to find anywhere that has a CTV1 transformer

    MEP 002A generator exciter issue.

    Well I tore into it some this week, I noticed on the Diode board the Resistor on the bottom of the board is burnt. Also noticed where the wires loop around the CT1 and CTV1 transformers the wire closest to the engine appears to have gotten hot at one point where it goes through the transformers...

    MEP 002A generator exciter issue.

    I have a Libby MEP 002A 5Kw generator. I'm having issues getting it to generate power, when you hold the start switch in the start position to excite the field the generator makes power fine, soon as you release the start switch it quits making power. What would cause this issue?
