    Mep-806A Frequency Meter

    Check to see if you have 120 volts AC across the transducers input terminals when the set is running. If you have 120 volts there then you'll need to check to see that both wires from the transducer to the meter have continuity.

    Providing Magna Sine Inverter with MEP power

    I invested in the altE HLX3600 batteries in mid 2020. The altE headquarters is 30 minutes from home so getting items from there is easy, no shipping. Battle Borns have a good reputation. There are many server rack LIFEPO4 batteries now available that are more cost effective. More competition...

    Providing Magna Sine Inverter with MEP power

    The other plus of 48 V is the gauge of the DC cables can be smaller since the current at 48 V will be half of that at 24 V.

    Providing Magna Sine Inverter with MEP power

    I've got a 300 AH 48V LIFEPO4 battery bank (four 12V 300 AH in series) and small array of ~1.7K feeding it. I used the Magnum as an inverter for a few months this summer in a temporary hookup to check it out and it worked great. No really heavy loads on it at that time. Plan is to re-do the...

    MEP-803a panel lights flickering

    If the alternators regulator is failing the Charge meter should dance about during the flickering. Likely in the Negative range when the lamps are dim and in the Positive range when they brighten up. Too bad the charge meter wasn't in the video.

    MEP-803a panel lights flickering

    Interesting.. The first thing I'd suspect is diode CR1. I've diagnosed a few sets where CR1 is failing causing 24 v problems. Inspect it and see if it looks cooked or cracked. Pull on it and see if it breaks in half. If that's the problem I'd suggest replacing it with two of the CR1's in...

    Converting a MEP-831A to standard generator

    Correct With a heavy duty toggle switch you can have the ability to switch from 120 to 120/240. I did that for one customers 831 that I did the head swap on. Wiring the switch was a bear.

    Converting a MEP-831A to standard generator

    Good news on two items! 1) Due to popular demand it looks like I'll be offering more of the Governor Controller kits to support swapping out the PMA/Inverter with a conventional gen head. 2) Also there is a proven solution to restoring the functionality of the MEP-831's factory Battery Charger...
