    Impact of Frequency Fluctuations

    Howdy, In the United States, power is 120/240 volts, and 60Hz. UL = Underwriters Laboratory Things which are sold to consumers in the US have a UL sticker. That means it was subjected to variables to qualify for a UL rating. The official UL rating means the product can withstand a variance of...

    My MEP-803a experience

    Howdy, The temperature gauge is deceiving. There is not a lot of marks or space between the 200 to 240 temp readings. My unit was wet stacked. The entire unit had to burn off the wet stack goo which had gotten all over. I really should have taken the muffler wrap off and cleaned that whole...

    MEP-803a Max Hours

    Howdy, Without doing a onsite inspection, you really need to look over the pictures really good. GovPlanet knows that if it runs, it will bring a higher price. I would say the staff will do little tweaks, such as adding batteries, and such. A video with it starting and running gives you an idea...

    MEP 802A Ruined by Open Stack?

    Howdy, I suspect that is why it only brought $800. Some members here purchased units like that. They drained the oil and got all the oil and about a gallon of water. Of course it also depends on how long. Onsite inspections and "does the motor turn?" could make a big difference.

    MEP-803A frequency cable

    Howdy, So, do you have the cable in place? Did you trim any of the length off? it looks like you could fit it, and then trim the black covering back to where you need and simply cut the wire to the length you need. Is the knob all black, or does it have that bright red button?

    Mep 803 with problems shutting down

    Howdy, It sounds similar to another member here which had troubles with the S-1 start switch. At some point in time, somebody replaced the S-1. But, they did not get all the pieces back in place. A few of the wires then have jumpers over to another screw. Anyway, he ended up disconnecting all...

    MEP gooroo's, question for you

    Howdy, As others have said, get a hand meter and check what the frequency and volts are at the lugs. Motors start and run better on 240 volts and 60 Hz. If you keep going and the Hz is way off, you will kill your pump.

    My MEP-803a experience

    Howdy, Not knowing what size the little mounting size is, wait until you physically have it, and look over the different aluminum project boxes for sale to mount them up into. That way it will be a nice finished end product. You can cut and dremel the mounting easily.
