    Aqua Chem WTA-060 Water purification trailer

    I know of 2 cow truck washouts that use the exact same motor and 3 piston pump that I have on my little ROWPU, and the oil field uses the same type of pump and motors on alot of the mud mixers, dont know if its exactly the same.

    3kW 28V external auxiliary power unit from an Abrams

    Well, if you have any other equipment that uses 24v, then you have a jumpstarter, or a battery charger, or a run/diagnose without having to put batteries in it, or to make little boys ask questions. mine isnt the 3k described here, but a 4 duece is the same thing, apu.

    Generator/TM list?

    I second that, because i was guilty of not paying attention to detail. The book said 1.5-2.0 ohms, i set it to 15-20 ohms, yeah it didn't work

    Generator/TM list?

    I wonder, what percentage of duds we have gotten in our GL purchase. Not even going to ask how much was spend on said dud. I can say I have had 1 dud out of 50 invoices (not items, invoices) and 7 years of buying. I dont classify misadvertised purchases, ie. says its window for 5t but its a...

    no power 804b

    in our country out here, there are lots of rotophases that convert single to 3ph, I have always wondered if they would work backwards, and how efficient they would be if they would work backwards.

    no power 804b

    . That can NOT be done with an 804, 805, or 806, reason being, those genny's are only 10 wires from the generator head, 12 wires is required for the zig zag. I am not yelling, just dont want to see good equipment let the smoke out.

    no power 804b

    I would not be overly concerned about the imbalance, if you are concerned then just rotate your load leads every few hours, days. or look at those halogen shop lights on a stand, they pull about 1300 watts for the pair, just hook that up to the unused terminal. If you havent read this, this is...

    MEP Sizing Help

    I thought he was talking about maintenance, service, and load testing, not producing power for consumption. When I am load testing/troubleshooting, I always bond N and Ground, and then ground the genny and the trailer to the outside ground. If I am load testing, then the load tester gets a...

    MEP Sizing Help

    I dont use my shop electrical ground, I have a dedicated grounding rod outside the shop just for generators. The reason being I wont use my shop ground is, if by chance something goes fubu and a 805B throws 300 amps of power the wrong place, then my whole shop gets 300 amps of power thru all...

    MEP-804a no start (no power to fuel shutoff solenoid), it DID run recently.

    Did yoy get your batteries fully charged or have it slaved. I remember an earlier thread on an 805b that said less than normal voltage can cause unusual faults

    no power 804b

    If you are referring to me, yes i did power me casa on 2 legs of an 804a with no known damage. I even ran it again on my load tester, still pulls 18kw with no issues.

    MEP-806A question

    Do you have the 50hp motors? Look at the data plate, it will tell you amps. I know my 805b, I can throw 100 amps per leg on it on 208v, and it doesnt even know the difference. this is a good place to waste hours of time...

    MEP-804a no start (no power to fuel shutoff solenoid), it DID run recently.

    so does the engine run and shut down correctly? I am on and off, so no guarantees on quick replies

    MEP-804a no start (no power to fuel shutoff solenoid), it DID run recently.

    you may have to use a modified start, start the genny, hold start switch in start position until oil psi comes up, release start switch to run position, move start switch to start position again to flash the field. if everything is in working order, the starter should not reengage the flywheel.
