    1st MEP 803a

    @jqc99 The MOV can't be put in a plain envelope. Envelopes get compressed as they go thru mail handling machines and the part could be crushed. I've tried sending parts in envelopes and they are sometimes crushed. So parts need to be sent in a package and thus package mailing rates. I could...

    Installed KloppK Voltage regulator in 804A Genset. Still no AC Voltage.

    Excellent it's making power! The low frequency tells me the Governor Controller thinks the set is in 50 Hz mode. I'll look at the TM tomorrow and see if I can come up with any suggestlions.

    Installed KloppK Voltage regulator in 804A Genset. Still no AC Voltage.

    That wire wants 24 volts DC on it when the set is running. The I terminal on those gauges all get 24 volts supplied to them.

    Installed KloppK Voltage regulator in 804A Genset. Still no AC Voltage.

    The issue is my VR wire M7-I is on the wrong terminal. Move that wire to either M5-I or M6-I

    Installed KloppK Voltage regulator in 804A Genset. Still no AC Voltage.

    Those are good readings. They indicate the generator is flashing properly and the static exciter, rotating diodes and stator appear to be all operating properly. I'd suggest double checking the connections to K5, M7 and K15. Most likely the error is the wire labeled M7-I is connected to...

    Installed KloppK Voltage regulator in 804A Genset. Still no AC Voltage.

    Kurt here.... Brett, for starters do the following. 1) With the set running measure the AC voltage at the convenience outlet while momentarily putting S1 in in the START position. The voltage should be about 120 volts AC. What AC voltage do you measure? 2) With the set running measure the DC...

    mep 003 AVR PINOUT

    The two versions of the ACVR are very similar. Just a couple of zener diodes added to the newer design as I recall.

    AMMPs 1030 non runner repair

    The 1030s are amazingly quiet compared to an 802 paint shaker.

    Newer mep-802a no longer a parts generator?

    When I got my 802 the drain nipple was ripped off the radiator. I was able to pull the radiator and solder it back on with a torch.

    Newer mep-802a no longer a parts generator?

    Correct If it's started manually the Aux pump will turn on and off as it would without the Remote Start. If started by the Remote Start then the fail-safe is active to prevent overfilling due to a bad float switch.

    Missing display screens 806Bs

    Same thing is happening to the 831s going to auction. Inverters are almost always missing.

    AMMPs 1030 non runner repair

    I had a starter on an 831 body twist just like that due to the starter cutout circuit not working. Starter got spun so fast the commuter flew apart and tore up the inside of the starter and twisting the starter body out of alignment. Might be what happened to your starter too.

    MEP-802a, premature overload fault trip.

    As LITD said, use Deoxit in S6 and S8 and exercise those switches with the set off.

    MEP-802A voltage regulator keeps breaking.

    The stator resistances are really low. 0.3731 ohms to 0.5047 ohms per winding. Any sort of poor contact due to corrosion, oxidation is going to cause your meter to display flakey readings. You need to make sure you have clean, solid connections from your meters probes to the stator leads. Most...

    Mep 802a keeps dropping out ac power at lugs only

    What happens when you set S6 to the 3 o'clock position and then start the set. Does it still trip OL or SC?

    MEP-802A voltage regulator keeps breaking.

    When doing the resistance reading across 5 & GND and then 6 & GND both leads must be removed from the VR. Once removed then measure from lead 5 & GND and then lead 6 & GND. When testing the stator output pairs all the leads should be removed from TB3 first.
