Howdy,
I ran the MEP-803A today on the load bank. The video is huge. Its 536mb, and about 4 and a half minutes long. I warm the 803 up. I then start stepping through loads.
3kw, then 6kw, then 9 kw, then 12kw, then 12kw+3kw, then I start adding the variable load a little more than half way...
howdy,
I am thinking about taking the lifting rings off. They just sit there and rattle like bells. I saw where someone said to shoot a bunch of silicone there, but I think that would only last a short time. I have forks, so I do not need them. It really is amazing how smooth the 803 is...
Howdy,
I guess I only recorded and short video of the MEP-802A being loaded. At the moment it looks to be around 133% load, and then I lowered it a little to 125%. By looking at the video, I would say the load is around 7.5-8kw 3 phase.
Howdy,
I wasn't watching too closely while loading the MEP-802A. I loaded it up to 133% for 15 minutes, then 100% for 30 minutes, then 25% and then off, but, the MEP-803A was a different story.
I had the 12kw switch on, and the 3kw switch on, and turned the variable knob up maybe halfway to...
Howdy,
Essex Electro Engineers A427 Load Bank
It was made around 1970. 0-33kw coverage, single and 3 phase. 3kw, 6kw, 9kw, 12kw switches in any combo, and a 0-3kw variable turn knob. It really makes thing easier to keep a generator in shape.
The MEP-803A can really pull some power. It...
Howdy,
Is it a m1102 trailer plain, or is it a m1102 generator unit?
I have the m1102 with generator and the rear support leg uses a Huck Magna Lok fastener MGLP-B12-12, which is a 3/8 hole. I am myself looking for a place which will have the tool to do this big rivet. It uses 3 of these rivets...
New to me PU-798A (Mep-803a on a LTT-TQG high mobility)
A Fermont MEP-803A 10kw TQG mounted on a 1 1/2 ton Silver Eagle LTT-TQG. Trailer is similar to the M1102 but generator configuration. The trailer is all aluminum. Mine is using HMMWV tires with run-flats.
Howdy,
What's neat about this method is... I have a smart battery charger which I can use for other batteries. 12v lead acid, 12v agm, 24v lead acid, and 24v agm.
I have used the Genius G7200 and a battery minder to bring back 2 Optima redtop agm individually. I then put them both back into the...
Howdy,
correct. The fuel gauge is working fine. It was the other fuel sensor which shows the (Fault Indicator "No Fuel") light. I was talking about member Zarathustra post about the "No Fuel" fault light here
part of his posting
"NO FUEL as well as AUX FUEL PUMP are controlled by the...
Howdy,
I just fired up a new acquisition MEP-802A. After going through it all and charging the batteries, it runs. :D
It ran for a little while and then shut down. I got a "no fuel" light. I fired it back up and got it again. But, now I want it to run longer. I checked everything out...
Howdy,
I guess the side nick name for a 2 cylinder motor would be "Shaker"
I just fired up my new acquisition MEP-802A and its not the outside that shakes, but open the door,and watch the motor shake.
The MEP-803A being 4 cylinders is so much smoother.
Howdy,
I did not come up with this method, but I have used it, and it's working good.
The slave port is a direct connection to the batteries. For a jump start you will need some decent gauge wires. But, for charging, its not a large requirement.
I went with a NOCO Genius G7200 24v charger...
Howdy,
I think they might have run the generator and only used the 2 little convenience outlets. At least until the black liquid starting running out of the exhaust manifold and muffler. Then they sold it
Howdy,
I have put an additional 1 1/2 hours of loaded time on the unit. It is running and sounding much better. All the fuel return lines are weeping diesel. I will be replacing all those lines shortly.
