I have an interlock now for my small generator but i didn't think you could get a 150amp sub braker but ill check in to that.

For anyone who has an mep-005a or mep-805a/b what are you using for a manual transfer switch? I am looking for the specific model if you dont mind sharing. I find lots of generic and others for 30-50 amps but i need a transfer switch to handle around 150amp for the mep-005a. i am only looking...

Just wanted to share an update. The guy I bought my generator from converted the trailer for me using a HydraStar 1000 psi electric over hydraulic kit. He also converted the trailer lights to 12v and has everything running off a 7pin rv cable. Everything looks great and works great! So far I...

I know the Bruce Type III load bank is a 3 phase load bank - however I cant find a TM on it online. Does anyone know if its wired for Delta or WYE 3 phase? I see both a l0(natural) and a ground connection which gives me small hope its WYE. I have a mep-005 generator wired for 1 phase id like...

Thanks for the feedback! I have decided to wait for a 30kw or larger load bank. Hopefully ill run across one for a fair price in the next few months or so.

I have seen your post - very nice setup! there is an a427 on eBay right now just trying to decide how much it’s worth to me :)

Fair point... It seem like the HDT 30KW is the cheapest load bank right now... its my least favorite but looks fairly simple if it will do the 240v at 30kw. I will read more on it tomorrow and see if i stumble across anything else.

Hey Coug, Thanks again for the advice, your knowledge on these units is fantastic and I wish I had a fraction of it! The NordicAir 3 ton ECU looks really cool. I agree it won't work with my conversion but having something like that around even just for its heating and cooling is pretty slick...

Before i pull the trigger on a load bank on eBay, any pointers on what i should expect to pay - so i don't over pay or if anyone on here has a load bank for sale let me know. Also found out the model of the load bank i saw online was an m24t-8 and have yet to find one anywhere for any price...

Fantastic!!! Thank you!

no rush but that would be awesome! I don’t know if I’ll diy it or not but it would be nice to have a solid example to follow if so. Thanks!

I read a thread on using the 5500 watt dryer heating elements and I thought i read they dont like to be run for long periods of time. I am hoping to be able to load test for 45-1 hour a few times a year at pretty close to 30kw to ensure no wet stacking on my genset and to just make sure...

I just searched the site for loadbanks and see most people are DIYing them. Outside of DIY i was wondering what models most people are using. I have found the A427a on eBay and was wondering if there was any other models I might consider? Also my mep-005 has been modified for single phase...

great idea!

Coug, You are correct I have the 4x4 crew cab so 3300LBS of bed weight and i can tow up to 15,940 lbs with 1500lbs toungue weight or 2300 5th wheel / gooseneck. I know for a 3/4ton truck its not huge but it tows almost everything i would need in life. I have worked out a deal to have the...

Thanks, i am really wanting to keep the trailer - so i can easily move the generator when it needs repairs.

I had given serious thought to the uhaul trailer it’s aboy $400 one way so very doable. The only trailer uhaul has that’s big enough is the car carrier as the m200a1 is almost 14 ft long. The uhaul car carrier does not have a solid deck so I’d have to rig something up to support the trailer...

Thanks, i checked with the seller and luckily the pintle is already in the lower position so i lucked out not having to fight it. Really down to only one issue finding a shop to do the electric over hydraulic conversion.

thanks Coug! I ordered a 12 1/2” drop bar I plan to use upside down for the pintel hitch to get it up and my truck has a pretty decent lift. I’ll also bring enough tools to flip the pintel hitch around so it’s lower on the trailer. I agree with what you said on the uhaul car hauler - it makes...

I dont have another trailer and i dont mind renting a uhaul car carrier but when i just googled this I see its to wide to fit on a usual car carrier but do like that idea
