    mep-005a giving me a reverse power warning.

    Ok Re read this so when it’s deenergized the nc position is default so to allow sc power to pass to the breaker so the relay is energized by something else telling it to or it’s stuck in that position considering it does this every time I hit the close breaker and will reset with the reset...

    mep-005a giving me a reverse power warning.

    So where should I go with this since it can’t possibly have a revers voltage situation? Your saying that the relay is fine that it’s tripping for some other reason where does it get the signal to trip from and is there a way to bypass it if I can’t fix it in time for the storm. sorry to keep...

    mep-005a giving me a reverse power warning.

    So found it it does not visually look bad only thing I saw was this resister discolored but that could just be the coating worn off

    mep-005a giving me a reverse power warning.

    trying to track down a power supply i can buy or borrow in the event it is bad what would be the best way to bypass it without using the battle short. it looks like i could disconect 7 and 8 and that would kill its power to operate maybe?

    mep-005a giving me a reverse power warning.

    ok found the test procedure tm5-6115-465-34 page 253 they call it the tactical relay assembly on this one so is there a more direct way to test this as i do not have access to variable power supplies.

    mep-005a giving me a reverse power warning.

    ok i found the location of mine in manual TM9-6115-465-24p page 113 it looks different from the one you sent so I bet the test procedure will not be the same now got to figure out how to find that.

    mep-005a giving me a reverse power warning.

    ok got them it looks like this is a blow out of the front controll panel but i do not have those relays in there is this actually one of the boxes inside the genset? i see what it is i have a 005a you sent me manuals for a 805 a

    MEP-005A voltage regulator trouble

    Ok so unit is now running great and making power like a champ with a addition of a flashing circuit I’ve attached the diagram I followed I used a 100 watt 12 ohm resister and the diode was a 6amp 600v. Don’t judge lol tho was just the test going to make it in a box all nice looking also over...

    MEP-005A voltage regulator trouble

    so i ordred a after market avr i posted a reply here to the guy that recommended it and now have a different set of issues lol i decided to do this as we don't have reliable way to generate the test voltages needed and we are struggling to find modern day components for some of the items on the...

    MEP-005A voltage regulator trouble

    so the latest update is i installed the advr in the same way you did and varified that your way was correct and it did not work for me so i built a 2 pole relay setup the the normally closed position applied the avr output to the field and the open position would apply 12 vdc to the coil to...

    MEP-005A voltage regulator trouble

    Yes I would be very interested in what voltage regulator you ended up using and what you connected especially if you figured out a way to have it flash the coil for generators like mine they don’t have enough residual magnetism

    MEP-005A voltage regulator trouble

    so update so far found q4 to be bad and several other components to be just outside tolerances we have decided to replace every component on the board and possibly designing and reproducing a new regulator with updated components as they seem to be so rare to find for sale we make make a few...

    MEP-005A voltage regulator trouble

    Thanks I messaged the guy that you suggested I’ve seen a couple of his other post he seems to be pretty knowledgeable he did reply back and say he’s really busy right now so just patiently waiting to hear back from him I’ve also dropped off the regulator with a friend of mine that works on MRI...
