    MEP018 shorted windings..how?

    That looks right from what I can see, but I can't make out all the T numbers on your attachment. Ike p.s. I am not sure if the voltage regulator on this model uses a 120V or 208-230V reference if 208-230V then you would likely need to rewire it between the two active Lines as the most likely...

    MEP018 shorted windings..how?

    My thought was to wire it in low wye 120/208 3 phase with the all the components of the L-2 leg isolated (not tied together). In a standard 12 lead this would be: T5,T2,T8,T11 isolated T4,T6,T10,T12 tied together for L0 neutral T1,T7 tied together for one of the Line outputs, designate L1...

    MEP018 shorted windings..how?

    If I am reading this right T5,T2,T8, and T11 are all showing continuity to each other? If so these would all be on L2 of a 120/208 low wye 3 phase connection, my guess is someone tried to pull too much load off one leg and overheated the windings at some point which may have causes a delayed...

    Need alittle help concerning Gensets

    I Think the MJQ-33 is the code for the full assembly with the trailer 2 generators and any accessories, the individual generator is a MEP-701a. Ike p.s. about the 2-71's mentioned above (these are perhaps the only generators built tougher than the military units, that is probably only because...

    Need alittle help concerning Gensets

    I just ran across this site last night Battle Grade Electric | Surplus Military Diesel Generators | Serving New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine and Vermont I don't know anything about them and their prices are much higher than buying from GL in your case shipping price would also likely be a...

    Need alittle help concerning Gensets

    The battery you want is a 24V 4HN (be careful as I have also seen a 12V 4HN advertised). I bought mine dry old stock off ebay (I think I paid a bit over $100 with shipping, heavy little thing) then when I went to the local battery dealer to have it filled and I found out they had a pallet...

    MEP 002/003 glow plug kit

    One word of warning on these sorts of pick sets, many are made out of stanless steel or other hard steel which can easily gouge sealing surfaces, picks made from brass are much safer since it is a softer metal and therefore much less prone to cause gouging.. Ike

    As if the power doesn't go out enough on it's own!!!!

    The sad thing is Jerry Seinfeld is now almost 60 (well he is 56, but that is getting close).

    MEP018 Field Flash question

    It sounds like you have more than one problem. My guess is when you are flashing the field it is trying to produce power, but you have a direct short either in the stator or the output leads (perhaps relating the switch issue you mention). Secondly your Voltage regulator is not working and...

    HELP!! installing the rebuilt IP - MEP-002A Refurb Update

    I just wanted to let you know there are a lot of us following your progress and want to encourage you to hang in there, these sort of projects can be frustrating, but you should remember that they also tend to be the ones where it does not run right up to the moment that it does. It can be far...

    Test loads?

    Electric cube heaters and hair dryers make great portable small load banks, be aware a lot of them draw less than their name plate wattage. Ike

    Mep-003 smoking

    It could be a number of things, but my first guess would be wet stacking, try running it under 80%+ load for an hour to two to clean it out then see how it does the next time you do a cold start. What color is the smoke? Ike

    MEP 016B/701A Questions

    From a parts availability standpoint the Yanmar retrofitted MEP-016D and MEP-016E wins. Ike

    HELP!! installing the rebuilt IP - MEP-002A Refurb Update

    I would pay careful attention to checking for clogged return fuel lines, if they are clogged they can build up back pressure which can cause many types of injection pumps to shutdown, although I suspect that would usually take more than 5-10 seconds. Ike

    Genset Mep-016B Onan Diesel

    I wanted to second what Peter said, you may have a problem with your voltage regulator / internal alternator, or it may just be corrosion on your connections, go through clean and check all the connections and see if the voltage comes up. Otherwise a pair of matched 12V batteries in series...

    Fan Belt Commercial Equivalent for the MEP-006A, 60 kW?

    I don't know an answer for you on this one, but I suggest calling the people at illiniparts.com as they are great to deal with when it comes to any Allis Chalmers industrial engine parts need. They will probably need the engine model number and serial number off your engine, and should be...

    MEP002 Governor adjustment

    Trace the wires back from the output breaker and make sure they are running through the CT loops. Someone may have rewired it at some point and forgot to run the new wires through the loops. Ike

    MEP002 Governor adjustment

    I don't know if it is the same on your MEP-002, but on my MEP-701a the onboard outlets don't show on the amp meter, only loads connected to the output lugs show on the meter. Ike
