    MEP-002a Voltage Issue

    What would I connect the jumper to? The instructions say from LO to #6 in section G, which I can't find .

    MEP-002a Voltage Issue

    William at Delk's said it was not a good idea to run the gen at 120V. He may have been thinking about the possible fault condition. The instructions say run a jumper from LO to #6 in section G. I am unable to find out where this is. As a side note, William passed away near Christmas. He was...

    MEP-002a Voltage Issue

    I have a MEP-002a and had it checked out at Delk's. They put it on a load bank and could find no problems with it. When using this generator it goes (240V setting) first into a SMA Smartformer which drops the voltage to 120v and then to a charge controller to charge batteries. When used in this...

    Mep002 trailer

    There is a small lever on the tongue near the brake fluid reservoir. It has teeth on it. What does this do? Also I am having problems with the brakes sticking, How can I free them up?

    Voltage Problem MEP-002

    Have a MEP -002. When it's running with a small load (500W), it works fine. voltage is fully adjustable. When I then add a load up to say 50%, the voltage drops to 200V (from 240V), and is no longer adjustable. What could this be? Thanks to all in advance for your help!

    Mep002 proper grounding

    When hooking generator to house wiring, do I only ground the trailer to the ground rod? I saw that the ground rod wire should not be hooked to the generator neutral, but that the generator neutral should tie into the house neutral, Is that right?

    Connected my MEP-803A the proper way as my home standby generator... Install pics...

    Where is the internal jumper that connects the equipment ground to the neutral? I have my mep002 hooked to my house and may have the neutral and equipment ground bonded.

    Voltage issue

    Sometimes when I start my mep002 the voltage drops to about 200v under load. When this happens the voltage adjustment will not raise voltage. If I keep trying and the voltage stays at 240v it works fine. Are their brushes that might need checking?

    Rotating diode issue

    I'm using rosin core but I don't know the composition. I tinned both wires and used 150w soldering iron. I soldered the diode with a 30w iron.

    Rotating diode issue

    Thanks for the feedback. I checked my solder joint and it is holding. When I start the generator and turn the breaker on sometimes the voltage drops. I can hold the knob on start and reflash the field. Sometimes this will cause the voltage to not fall and it will generate fine. I don't have to...

    Rotating diode issue

    In replacing diode I cut wire too short. I soldered a short piece of wire onto diode to make it reach and have tried numerous times to solder two wires together. It will last for a few days (running generator daily) and then come apart. Is there some type of crimp that will last in that...

    MEP 002a Generator Diodes

    I believe the 3 diodes on one heat sink are the same and the 3 on the opposing heat sink are reversed polarity.

    MEP002a ASK

    How much does the ASK reduce the noise level? Are there any mep002a's in eastern TN with the ASK that I could listen to? How much difference would just a muffler make? Thanks

    Best motor oil for MEP-002a

    Thanks for all the answers. That makes me feel okay with using 15W-40 year round.
