    Mep 3 starting procedure

    Most likely either the gauge or the transducer is bad. Both the voltage and frequency gauge will work with the main breaker open. Be sure to check the connections on the transducer and the gauge. With the age of these sets and the conditions they were in corrosion is always possibility.
