    Need a manual! Can anyone tell me where to look? aircraft carrier mobile generator a/s37a-3

    This will get you closer, Look at the second set of numbers and then look at the descriptions of the equipment. The 1730's appear to be aircraft related trailers. The 6115's appear to be generators. Like I said, have a pot of coffee. I have found a lot of off the wall manuals here and I have...

    You can try here, type in the NSN number once you find it or the number you gave us. Have a pot of coffee standing by because it may take a while to go through the selections. https://www.liberatedmanuals.com/

    "Braking resistor" used as a load bank?

    You can probably find most of what you need to know here. This statement here in one of the charts is what would worry me in your application. "The typical field of application for cast iron resistors of the GEW series are short, high-energy impulse loads."...

    Did you test the new thermostat before installing? It certainly sounds like a bad stat that is staying open or opening far too early.

    First Lesson About Operating My Generator In Cold Weather

    I hope you left that cover open! pouring hot water on something in freezing weather just guarantees it is going to freeze tighter and much faster soon after you do that. Best thing to do is get it open and then spray it with WD40 to get rid of the water and after that lube the hinges with spray...

    240V 3ph on MEP-806B. Is it safe?

    I have been following this but since I am not an electrician I have not commented on it but I did notice one thing that caught my eye on the seeders spec sheet, voltage MAX 240. That means it is set up for a MAXIMUM of 240 volts, not set up specifically for only 240 volts. Any electrical...

    240V 3ph on MEP-806B. Is it safe?

    If you are thinking that you can hook this too your house directly then you cannot unless your house is wired for 3 phase which is highly unlikely. I am not an electrician but I know you cannot connect three phase to single phase.

    I am intrigued with the automotive batteries, I am assuming you get these from wrecks or replacements? Where do you source them? And rough cost?

    MEP-002A just shuts off

    Could it be a critter nest in the air box causing an overheat condition and shutting down on overheat?

    Advice needed. Which genset for off grid?

    AND, If you use everything all at the same time. What are the chances of using the induction plate, the convection microwave (on convection at that) AND the instant pot all at the same time? Is the water pump 220 volt? If so it won't be bad and it will be a surge and that is not an issue. If it...

    Advice needed. Which genset for off grid?

    No, I didn't win, I suffer from constant headaches and I lost most of my hearing. The only win was I didn't die.
