    Mep 802a keeps dropping out ac power at lugs only

    That info is in the back of the -24 TM. This is for the 802A and 803A

    new generator MEP 1040

    You might want to reseat the wire harness connector on the coolant temp sensor. Then clear the DCS Fault and try running it again.

    MEP 805A Gen. NO Voltage

    A bit of an oddity... In your picture R14 is marked as a 50 ohm resistor. Multiple versions of the TM that I've checked indicate it's a 40 ohm resistor. Seems either would work fine in this application. To get a replacement 50 ohm version that fits right in is available here ---> 50 Resistor

    MEP 805A Gen. NO Voltage

    R14 would have nothing to do with your batteries being drained. R14 is just a current limiting resistor in the field flashing circuit. I can look tomorrow for a replacement source.

    MEP 805A Gen. NO Voltage

    Since the Exciter ohms out OK I'd say the R14 resistor is bad.

    MEP 805A Gen. NO Voltage

    Based on those readings it would appear that R14 is defective. Do a couple of other tests before we condemn R14. With the set OFF and Dead Crank in OFF do the following. 1) Remove the wires from the AC Voltage Regulator terminals 1 & 3. Label if needed so they don't get mixed up. 2) Measure...

    MEP 805A Gen. NO Voltage

    OK now take the following DC voltage measurements. Hook you meters negative lead to the ground stud above the relays on the back wall. With the set running check for the following voltages and reply what you measure for each test. 1) Measure the DC voltage at R14 terminal 1 with S1 held in the...

    MEP 805A Gen. NO Voltage

    So you do NOT get any AC voltage at the outlet with the set running and S1 in START? Please confirm.

    MEP 805A Gen. NO Voltage

    OP had posted " runs like a top everything checks out on gauges except the battery charger gauge shows running on discharge side while running " I assume when they said "everything" it included the AC Voltage gauge.

    Guy, Yes, Saw that S1 was mis-wired, set running but no AC

    MEP 805A Gen. NO Voltage

    Have you downloaded the -24 TM? It has a test procedure for the AC voltage regulator in it. The set was built with one two voltage regulator systems. TRC or Libby. Be sure to use the correct test procedure in the TM.

    Need some GETT / Applied ECU / 23kw 3 Phase Generator Electrical Help

    Personally I'd suggest checking the rotating diodes next before investing in a DC PS.

    Need some GETT / Applied ECU / 23kw 3 Phase Generator Electrical Help

    I found a manual about the gen head at: Gen Head Manual It talks about using a 12 volt battery with a 30 ohm current limiting resistor to apparently flash the gen head. See PDF page 52 You may want to test the rotating diodes in the gen head. If they are toast the rotor won't generate any...

    Mep-803 question

    Very common issue. Had to replace those on my 802. Replace the hose with a piece that's longer so that it's not bent so sharply when installed. This will help with cracking down the road.

    Need some GETT / Applied ECU / 23kw 3 Phase Generator Electrical Help

    Unfortunately the Operations and Maintenance manual has very little info in the Generator Runs but doesn't produce power section. Yes, Yellow and Blue are the two wires to the exciter from the VR. The VR is powered from Red and Red. The VR system relies on "residual magnetism" in the gen head...

    I'm an idiot!!! - Fermont MEP-802A 5kW

    The original fuse holder is about $100! I'd suggest finding one rated for similar voltage and current capacity. They are much cheaper. Be sure what you pick can handle the current.

    Do you have the paralleling cable?
