    Mep-005A Voltage Regulator replacement and single phase conversion

    This diagram shows 3 phase. But it can be configured as such. I do believe it's important to point out that the field rating is 15 to 100 ohms. The 005 field is 2-4 ohms. Other members have made it work but it is out of spec

    There is a test procedure for them, they are repairable with some skill. There are some aftermarket replacements that can be used but they require some rework to function
