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...

    wildly fluctuating voltage on my mep 002

    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...

    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...

    What are the differences between an mep 005, 805a & 805B

    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...

    What are the differences between an mep 005, 805a & 805B

    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...

    What are the differences between an mep 005, 805a & 805B

    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...

    What is the brownish they dip the generator stator In to seal and protect them?

    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...

    What is the brownish they dip the generator stator In to seal and protect them?

    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...
