    MEP-804a internal generator wiring on high Voltage setting

    Attached is a low and high tap diagram. Shown here is t10 t11 t12. These are internally tapped together and come out to become l0. The following are the ends of windings: 1 to 4 2 to 5 3 to 6 7 to 10 8 to 11 9 to 12 In your case you should have continuity from 7 to 8 to 9 to neutral , 1 to 4 2...

    MEP-804a internal generator wiring on high Voltage setting

    What has me thinking it's a connection issue is it only manifests in high mode can you confirm that it works correctly in the low position? Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    MEP-804a internal generator wiring on high Voltage setting

    10 leads for power and 2 field. Need to check the terminal points and make sure they are going to the right places. Do you have a megger? Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    I have a gas and electric home, the 004 in the shed has done well for me (it is overkill). The most recent hurricane it suffered a small fire, and I brought over one of the 003s and it did well with everything. That being said we are comparing apples to oranges here as we don't have...

    Wetstacking isn't nearly as big of a problem as people think. Just need to do a heavy load bank now and then to clear it up and you'll be just fine. Bigger issue is the about of fuel you'll use during an outage. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    Is this unit in a runnable and capable of generating electricity right now?

    10 11 12 is the center of the star which is your neutral which should be run to the lo lug

    002 and 003 are severely different than their larger cousins

    If the AVR is setup for 240 volt yes

    J R Hollingsworth MEP-005A conversion

    I did this on my 004 and on a friend's 005. Instead of cutting the neutral buss I moved wires to perform the change (I can look back at my notes to get the exact moves). Electrically it's the same , I found it to be less cumbersome. The ave needs to reference the right points. If it's...

    In the reconnecting board? There's another way that makes it easier to revert. Either way that will need rewired to make it zig zag. You also need to know where the AVR source is. If tapped incorrectly you will get some really weird voltages

    That will need adjusted

    Okay so they've added an aftermarket AVR and an aftermarket engine controller. This can be retapped for single phase however keep in mind that you're going to have to look up the AVR instructions to see if it'll tolerate 240 otherwise it's going to try to keep correcting to 208

    MEP-803 Deoxit

    Deoxit is amazing stuff. if you can see the contact points: spray and exercise. if its really nasty ill spray exercise then clean with QD contact cleaner, THEN a light coat of deoxit exersise and test.

    Still not bad, if you do need to do a full re control it can be done fairly easily
