    Fermont 804-B Engine Control Module Needed

    You could use the control unit from an 804A We had to change engines because the Isuzu engine we were using became unavailable. (out of production) we had to change controllers because the actuators on the engine had a different spring tension and the controller wouldn't respond as the old one...

    Hello from CT, M831A Question

    I know that's why I contacted DRS to verify for you that it is in fact a 50Hz.

    Brought MEP-831A # 2 home, Controller issues

    lift the arm up push the pin in and hit the arm with the bottom of your fist, lift the arm off the pin and it will close all the way. The set screw for the arm inside the actuator is loose or not set right. This is not a controller issue.

    Hello from CT, M831A Question

    Ok so I just talked to someone who still works for DRS and he said there is only one 3 kW left there and it is a 50Hz.

    Hello from CT, M831A Question

    There were 10, 10 kW's and I believe about 15 3kW's 7 of them were 50 Hz that were built by DRS in hopes of selling them all commercially but the wanted what they sold them to the government for them. So they have been sitting around for at least 5 years. Not all are fakes just the 50Hz 3 kW's

    Guy, I dont recall ever hearing or experiencing major issues with the fault panels on any of the TQG's. And we produced at one time every TQ from 3-200 kW's. But I certainly was not out in the field as you. The one big issue we had with the 3 kW was the overload short circuit on start and that...

    On the terminal board on top of the inverter are two small number 101 and 103 wires on L1 and L2, those are the overvoltage sensing wires that sense the voltage coming out of the inverter and go back into the inverter. If there is an overvoltage when you remove the wires the generator should not...

    Hello from CT, M831A Question

    You would have to get a 60 Hz inverter, good luck with that.

    Hello from CT, M831A Question

    I came up with the concept of the 50 Hz 3 kW for the European market but DRS being DRS they never took off. The unit is actually built around the 3 kW 400 Hz unit and has a 50 Hz inverter, The 60Hz inverter will not adjust down to 50Hz and the 50Hz inverter will not adjust up to 60Hz.

    When you rope start the set make sure the start switch is in the run position, after you manually start the set, momentarily place the start switch to stop position then to run.

    Mep 803a overload question

    Set the load to 100% rated kW and set the freq to 60 Hz. Remove the load and the freq should be somewhere around 61.5 to 61.8 Hz. The sets were meant to run at 3% freq regulation, 60 Hz full load and 61.8 Hz max at no load.
