    Do i need a return for my mep803 aux tanks setup?

    If you are using the sets original aux fuel in, no.

    ADDING 25KW SINGLE PHASE TRANSFORMER TO MEP-005A

    The over current protection should prevent that. It has more to do with magnetic fields in the head (source: the rewind shop in work with). All I can do is pass the information on. The problem with the younger generation is the older generation. It's our job to teach them as much as we...

    ADDING 25KW SINGLE PHASE TRANSFORMER TO MEP-005A

    I have seen the aftermath of the abuse of a generator that has had 2 heavily loaded legs and one not loaded. Windings were distorted. It's rare, and it takes time to happen, and it's easy to prevent. You need to be extremely careful driving another ground rod. This is more important for...

    ADDING 25KW SINGLE PHASE TRANSFORMER TO MEP-005A

    208 is the target. Increasing it will increase the leg to neutral voltage as well. If you have nothing using the neutral (120v devices) increasing the voltage won't cause too much trouble. There is a limit to how far you can push it before it'll trip the over voltage shut down...

    ADDING 25KW SINGLE PHASE TRANSFORMER TO MEP-005A

    Running two legs heavily loaded in the third leg with no load is not good for the head. It can cause damage after prolonged to use that way. Still need it for three phase then do not do the modification if you absolutely need 240 volt and can't live with 208 look up a buck boost transformer

    ADDING 25KW SINGLE PHASE TRANSFORMER TO MEP-005A

    Between 2 legs in this set is 208 NOT 240. Now in most cases 208 is useable on 240 applications, refer to the nameplate on the loads. you can bump th voltage up slightly but this also raises the leg to ground voltage. so items using the neutral will run higher, so be careful what you...

    ADDING 25KW SINGLE PHASE TRANSFORMER TO MEP-005A

    Transformer would be more helpful or you needed 120\240 and 480. If it's just single phase you need you can use 2 legs (add a load to the 3rd leg to balance a bit). This gets you 120\208 which 98% of the time is just fine for 240 devices. If you really need 120\240 you can use a boost...

    ADDING 25KW SINGLE PHASE TRANSFORMER TO MEP-005A

    assuming you are hooking it up like a normal load, the generator would see it as a load, it shouldnt impact the controls and monitoring. What specifically are you trying to get out of this?

    MEP 803A Wet Stacking

    Yes because it's not working hard enough to produce enough exhaust heat. But again it's not something that happens overnight do a good load banking once in awhile and you're good to go

    MEP 803A Wet Stacking

    Usually 80% Here's the thing it won't wetstack over night. Periodically load it up to rated capacity and run it for a couple of hours. That should keep the wet stacking away

    I got a compression tester on Amazon that has the glow plug adapter, save you some effort. If you use a different IP you need to set the button. They are pretty easy to rebuild, replace and time

    Happy wife happy life. I have heard good things about his mods. I did my own thing, but it's nowhere close to a packaged system

    MEP-002A, will Start, Run then dies....any suggestions?

    It was a Sega Genesis, I was playing Sonic the hedgehog 2. It was an old console TV that was around before I was, it took 3 guys to haul it out of the basement to get it repaired, the shop fixed it inside a week and that thing stuck around until 2003.

    I think I'll stick with the electrician\controls engineering route, ride systems can be annoying enough yet gratifying

    MEP-002A, will Start, Run then dies....any suggestions?

    I had one blow in an old tv set and it created a weird oscillation the image looked like a twisting helix. I was so upset as it happened when i had made it to a level in a video game I had never reached before.

    having a single phase outlet on 3 phase is extremely common. converting a 3 phase head to single only requires some rewiring, problem is not all heads are externally tapped for it

    I once was asked to proofread a tech manual for a ride, I found several errors in the general prefave section (where all the safety info etc lives). I caused the recall of every manual the mouse wrote between 1989 and 2013
