    MEP-804b 15kw Generator - Won't Produce any Voltage

    I get this when trying to watch the video. You ought to change the permissions on the file so people can view the video.

    MEP-802a Parts Question

    Absolutely necessary. Do NOT run the generator without the Fuse Mod installed. Running without it you risk the AC Voltage Regulator shorting out and burning up the generator head.

    MEP-802a Parts Question

    For the 802A part lookup you'll want to use TM 9-6115-641-24P Here are the parts for the Oil Pressure sender (item 7) area in that TM The following page lists the part numbers If you then search the TM for "02504" you'll find the NSN number 6620-01-128-3053 Then, if you go to...

    MEP804A Overspeed Trip

    Is the mag pickup (MPU) adjusted properly and providing 2-3 volts AC across GC terminals 16 & 17 when dead cranking the engine? According to the info below the DC voltage across GC terminals 9 & 10 may give a clue. This is the voltage sent to the actuator to control engine RPM. When initially...

    MEP-803 Deoxit

    That's the way it came with 1,500 hours on it. Doesn't look to have been overseas in a desert and full of the usual desert dust caked everywhere.

    MEP-803 Deoxit

    It's S6 & S8 for that issue. Need to pop the top off the AC compartment to get to the back of S8. Along the sides of S6 and S8 are small openings by each terminal screw to spray the Deoxit in. Below is a pic with arrows pointing to two of the many openings in S8.

    Mep-831 wont start the next day after finally sending power

    OK, that's indicating either the battery(s) are not charged/bad OR something in the path of getting battery voltage to S19A2 is failing. Measure the DC voltage at the following points with your meters Negative lead on TP31 (chassis ground), E-STOP pulled out and S1 in START 1) Voltage at S19-A2...

    Mep-831 wont start the next day after finally sending power

    What's the voltage across those two points with the switch in STOP?

    MEP 802/803A QUAD winding & voltage regulator A1 protection

    It has both input and output protection by way of a pair of fuses. It does not utilize the power from the Quad winding so it's not affected by Quad winding voltage spikes. Also the VR is switched out of the circuit during Flashing.

    MEP 802/803A QUAD winding & voltage regulator A1 protection

    My understanding is that during cranking the Quad winding in the gen head can output some voltage spikes that exceed the PRV rating of the diodes in the VR causing them to short out. Exactly how I don't know. The flashing circuit is voltage limited by R14 and this only supplies voltage to the...

    Introduction (MEP-802A’s)

    Which Diode(s) are you referring to? The MOV does not have a "polarity" so it can be installed either way.

    MEP-803 fuel pump does not run

    Voltage at the slave port should be about 28.3 volts once the batteries are topped off after starting.

    Voltage Regulator replacement MEP-003A

    When in single phase mode only CT1-C is used to drive the %Current Meter. The path highlighted in GREEN shows the paths from CT1-C to M4. The last leg of the connection are the RED and BLUE lines. These are the connections made internal to S8 depending on if S8 is in 1 Phase L3-L1 or 1 Phase...

    MEP803A House Wiring

    You could add some appropriate outlets to the 803 to connect your "load bank" heaters to. The output lugs on the 803 have lots of room for conductors. There should be no need to disconnect the wiring from the 803 to the transfer switch during load testing.

    Voltage Regulator replacement MEP-003A

    It's AC current "in" by way of the wires passing through each CT opening. They created a magnetic field that the coils inside the CT detect creating an AC current output. The AC output current is proportional to the current in the leads passing through the CT openings. The Percent Load Meter...

    MEP-803A Power at panel -No crank

    Also be sure Battle Short switch is turned off. See if the contacts inside of Relay K16 move as S1 is moved from Stop to Prime/Run. They should. *edit K16 is the Crank Disconnect relay. If S14 is bad/missing K16 will not move internally causing a no crank from S1 situation. If the set has a...
