    MEP-831A No Inverter Output

    I started down that road and found the clear coating difficult to remove even though I was able to remove very small amounts. They were so small, I wasn't sure I could trust the readings from the meter. I guess I should give it another go and see what I can come up with. Also the F1-F4 was...

    MEP-831A No Inverter Output

    Sorry, I called the converter an inverter in my original post. I have the manual, followed the troubleshooting section. Output from the PMG is balanced and good on all phases. Even verified the door switch for the voltage selector switch to ensure it was properly making. Just find it hard to...

    MEP-831A No Inverter Output

    Hey there guys, Got this MEP-831A with no out from the inverter. I opened the inverter, no apparent damage to any of the board or other components. Is anybody out there providing a service to test the inverters? Can you even buy a new one if necessary? Any other advice? Thank you sshaw

    MEP-831A, No Output Voltage

    Guys, thanks for all the responses, they help a lot. So I pulled the inverter and popped the side cover off and started looking. I'm guessing the "black resistor looking items" are right near the connectors P15 and P16? I see (4) black resistor looking items, unfortunately the lettering is...

    MEP-831A, No Output Voltage

    Thanks DAV5, I will go over everything on the fuel system as I know there are some issues with it. I had a couple of connectors that were apart when I received the unit, so I put them together and promptly blew the FU1 fuse. During this time I also noticed I wasn't getting any voltage out the...

    MEP-831A, No Output Voltage

    Hi Guys, So my voltage issue to the converter has been resolved. This weekend I pulled the converter (A8) out and removed the cover panels to see what I could find. Much to my surprise, all looked good. Nothing blown out, no faultly caps, no hot spots on any of the boards, everything looked...

    MEP-831A, No Output Voltage

    Hello All, Thanks for all tips and pointers, looks like I might be making some headway. Well I was pretty sure I had a stator problem and was preparing to for the worst. All indications were pointing to a bad B2 winding which was reading low by 30-40 volts. Dewie 38 suggested looking at the...

    MEP-831A, No Output Voltage

    So I did pull the P15 and P16 connectors and measure voltage, everything looked good with the exception of that one winding that had the high resistance readings. It was reading 30-40 volts lower that all the rest. I did pull the end cover off the PMA hoping to find something looking like it...

    MEP-831A, No Output Voltage

    I was afraid of that, just hoping a rewind shop might be able to rewind it at a reasonable rate. Anyone know of a shop that has done a few of these in the past? Thanks guys, great info.

    MEP-831A, No Output Voltage

    Hi guys, I recently picked up a MEP-831A that had no output voltage. So having had some experience, I checked the output of the inverter, no voltage, pulled the P15 and P16 connectors and checked all of the Generator windings, all had approximately 1 ohm of resistance except the A2-B2 and the...
