    Advantage or Disavantage of re-wired 400hz generator to 60hz?

    Yes I have the time and tools. I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty or spend the time fixing things. I'm just trying to obtain some information. Heck, I built a load bank just for this genset. And I have been offered a great deal on this due to the issue that he can't seem to resolve. One...

    Hello to all. Been a lurker for awhile and decided to join today as I just bought a MEP-803A after the fiasco here in Florida (Hillsborough County - Tampa area) with the electric company and hurricane Irma. We were without the juice for 5 days and although not to much of a hard time, it was...
