    MEP-831A no power

    As I recall, the two middle pins are not fused and the 4 outer ones are.

    MEP-831A no power

    Yikes! Usually 1 or more of the 4 fuse(s) by the Molex connector blow first.

    MEP-831A no power

    My guess is the dual 3 phase rectifier assembly attached to the white connector failed sending the black soot up discoloring the main control board.

    MEP-831A no power

    WOT = Wide Open Throttle Inverter removal isn't too bad. 6 exterior bolts 2 left side bracket bolts Disconnect all wires and plugs Unbolt the two cable clamps from the inverter Remove "L" bracket under inverter Unbolt contactor and move to bottom Wriggle the inverter out

    MEP-831A no power

    Set is running Wide Open Throttle. It shouldn't be. The SLC100 Governor Controller (GC) is shot. One of the classic symptoms of a factory GC failure. Also not lifting off the magnet is a sign too. No LED ON in K15 indicates the inverter isn't making power. May be due to running WOT at...

    MEP-831A no power

    The fuse is on the input of the sets battery charger. If that popped the battery charger is probably toast. The set can run OK without it on the batteries until they wear down. Is the LED inside of K15 ON when running? If on it indicates the inverter is making power, at least L1 is, it powers...

    MEP802A overload tripping

    It could be that resistor R13 is bad or the contacts 13 14 in S8 aren't making good contact. The purpose is to put R13 in parallel with R12. This cuts the burden resistance from 7.5 ohms to 3.75 ohms. The CT's generate a current proportional to the load on the respective winding set. The CT's...

    MEP Generator Output Waveforms and THD

    I re-ran the generators all with 3 Kw loads. I'll update the first post with the pics at 3 Kw and THD values at 3 Kw for each. Time for a 🍻

    MEP Generator Output Waveforms and THD

    Used the scope to do an FFT on the waveforms, measured the amplitude difference between the fundamental frequency and the harmonics. Then run that thru a spreadsheet to calculate THD.

    MEP Generator Output Waveforms and THD

    In another thread people were interested in how clean the AC output was from various generators as compared to utility power. Below is a compilation of various AC power source waveforms and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) calculation results. Function generator set at 60 Hz. "Ideal" AC...

    Mep831a conversion time!!

    I've got a converted 831 and an oscilloscope to get a vaveform shot. Will take that in the coming days and post it up.
