    MEP803A low output for solar system backup

    How is the generator connected to the system? Is the generator failing to put out its full rating or is the system not demanding enough from the generator? I have a XW6848 running my system and on that unit generator load is programmable in the inverter. There are also settings such as minimum...

    Actual Rating for MEP-804B

    This might be a bit pedantic but... A 12 wire three phase generator wired single phase will not produce the same power as when it is in its "native" configuration. It will do 90-95% of nameplate under the same temperature rise but it won't produce the same. The efficiency is a little lower. We...

    +1 on this. Can you post an image of the dataplate of the unit?

    Got installed on the island - MEP-803a

    Actually, no. You aren't at full load. When you are measuring a 240v load you have to measure all the legs and the neutral. The power on the two load legs cancel out so it is NOT summed. 26a at 240 is a little over half load. To test what is bogging down the set I would start with the AC...

    Towing MEP 803a

    Looks like in PA there is no exemption for registering mobile generators. https://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/LI/consCheck.cfm?txtType=HTM&ttl=75&div=0&chpt=13 In NC mobile generators do not require registration so long as the trailer moves only the generator and the accessories...

    mep 803 help

    Also worth popping the top covers off and checking all the wire terminals. Look for anything loose or discolored.

    MEP-8xx series fuel pump

    Both GAS and DIESEL are checked on the application chart for that pump. The application specialist I talked to on the phone gave me that one as one of the options to replace the E1074.

    Ug. Not a good spot to try and braze a TEE and Schrader valve.

    AcuTemp Refrigerator

    Did they tap the stub or one of the actual supply/return lines?

    AcuTemp Refrigerator

    It sayes in the service manual if im not mistaken that it is not serviceable. Obviously that doesn't mean it can't be serviced.

    AcuTemp Refrigerator

    There are no connectors if its like mine. Just a crimped stub.

    Take some photos if you don't mind. Are you going to do a nitrogen purge first? Attaching fittings?

    MEP 831A Fix-up Thread

    Everyone needs to know that the replacement pump is functionally identical but not mechanically identical. The fittings are 3/8" instead of 1/8". Adapters will have to be applied to make it work.

    MEP-8xx series fuel pump

    Summit finally canceled my order. I called Airtex today and talked to one of the technical folks. He said they were bought by Carter and all the Airtex parts were being "replaced" by Carter products. He told me the closest pump going forward will be a Carter P74016. Its slightly higher flow...

    MEP 831A Fix-up Thread

    With the wiring you are describing its most likely the motors on the compressors. Edit: When I'm running in 115v mode on the 831 I also jumper L1 and L2 at the generator.

    MEP 831A Fix-up Thread

    What is the wire size between the generator and loads? If you are running in 115v mode you'll need at least #10. If you have a pretty fast volt meter with a high/low capture feature you can capture the voltage range at the AC unit and at the generator during a compressor start and see if you...

    MEP-8xx series fuel pump

    I recently ordered 3 and its been a back and forth of backorder shipping dates. They say they are going to send them as soon as they can get them. Right now looking at the end of this month. I hope they don't end up canceling the order. I need to replace a failed one now.
