I am trying to find out what the purpose of the switch in the front of the control panel is for that has several 3 phase positions and two 1 phase positions. I’m assuming it needs to be in the correct position for all the gauges to work properly? Is that it’s purpose??
I’ve never had issue with...
I can’t open the files in the TM section. I am having a problem reassembling my ac phase switch. Anyone have the link where I can download the TMs? Thanks in advance for any help!
I didn’t reconfigure it. The mep 002 has a switch to go from single to three phase. I turned it off when I switched it from
Single to three phase. When I turned it back on it was fluctuating wildy. I use it to power a small hotel in an island near Cartagena Colombia. It runs 24/7/365. I have...
I had it switched to single phase. I turned it off and switched to three phase then restarted it. As soon as it started the ac voltage was fluctuating between 160 and 260 volts ac. I turned it off and switched it back to single phase but the voltage still fluctuates Any idea as to what might...
I run my island hotel on an mep 002a. Two coffin lg freezers four fridges 80+ fans blenders music and over 1000 watts of light at night it burns between 7-8 gal per 24hours. I have over 25k hours on one of my 002s. Swap injectors (rebuild kits are 35 bucks on eBay) change oil every 175 hours or...
On the 805a you have three legs 120 so if I used two of them for 208 to my ac (my AC runs form from 180ish to 240ish) no problem I have mep 002s and one had a problem and my 220v inverter AC didn’t seem to mind at all as long as I was over 180 and under 235,
im looking at a 805a. I want to run...
im not an electrician so don’t want to get into something that could damage the unit. I will be running this 13 hours a night year round. I just bought a rowpu desal system that is powered by an 005. I figured it would be a lot easier to get parts for the John Deere powered unit and I hate the...
I’m ok doing the maint and repairs. My big concern is parts availability on the 005s.
There are John Deere dealers everywhere for when I need parts and it’s a 4 cyl so less spare injectors etc to keep on hand.
Which engine do you think would be less likely to wetstack? It’s for my island...
I just bought a mep 005 with a 14,000 gallon a day desalination system.
I want to buy a second 30kw genset. I dislike the oil filter housing set up on the 002s I have and now the 005, so I’m looking at the 805 A and B.
i will be using two 120 leads and a neutral to power my island hotel with...
Amy way to balance those two phases better for 110/220 I just bought an 005 with a huge desalination system I plan to use for desal several days a month and to power a large number of AC units answveral fridges at night in my island hotel in Colombia. Thx for any info
Nope they put it in with a brush for the last one theybwould I have corrosión problems in 4?months on one a dn6 months on the other
I was thinking the same thing on the ac vacuum pump. I’m trying to figure out what type of vessel to use the put the resin and stator in that I can seal the top...
unforetunately I’m in Colombia South America they just aren’t up to date on any of this stuff down here. I think I can figure a way to do it myself. How many inches of vacciim should it pull thanks for the info
That’s for the heads up. But for some reason I can’t open the TMs with my iPhone. when I get to the mainland I will. I intended on baking them to cure the resin but I was also looking at epoxy paints which last for years without breaking down due to the elements. I’m in an island not far from...
thx for the link and info guys. I’m in Colombia South America. The guy winding my parts does the power companies transformers he is illiterate and learned from his father as he started working at 8yrs old. I’m thinking if I thin the resin a little and dip it four times and let it dry in four...
I had two stators rewound and the local shop just painted on some type of varnish or sealer and they failed pretty quickly due to not entirely sealing them 5 and 7 months, and the fact I’m on a carribean island with a solid breeze of salty air doesn’t help. I want to buy the product and dip mine...
I have three 002s and I run the **** out of them 24/7 continous. I just installed an new inj pump on one but was having trouble with it as it wasn’t making any horse power I had the pump set up right all along, the old pump when it puked must have sent debris to the injectors that clogged them...
