    mpe803a

    I make and sell a replacement Voltage Regulator (VR) for the MEP-802A and MEP-803A. Same part for both generators. I have them in stock ready to ship.

    VR is short for the A1 AC Voltage Regulator. I'm Kurt.. See the SS classifieds Parts For Sale section for the VR's

    mpe803a

    It doesn't hurt anything. It simply helps protect the A1 Voltage Regulator from shorting out.

    mpe803a

    The Varistor is not part of the official "Fuse Mod". The addition of the Varistor is done to protect the A1 Voltage Regulator from damage. The Fuse Mod only protects the Quad Winding in the gen head should the A1 VR fail and short out.

    Converting a MEP-831A to standard generator

    The effort stalled about a year ago when Northern Tool stopped carrying gen heads that fit the L70. I looked around off and on and haven't found a source for a suitable head until just recently. A fellow SS member found a US source of heads for a very fair price. We just installed it on his...

    MEP-831a Overload

    I do have two bad ones here that I'm trying to make 1 good inverter from. Both had catastrophic but different failures. My hunch about the moisture issue with the inverters is the 13 potentiometers on the main control board. The pot's aren't sealed with CC like the rest of the board is and my...

    Mep 831a unkown part

    Those are insulated posts that the battery cables can be clamped to should you disconnect or remove the battery. Insulated so you can still pull start and run the generator with no battery in it (so they don't short to each other or ground)

    75902lv Master Start Switch for MEP-80x Gens. Who has one for sale?

    Since you have 10 on order you could have it for the cost of shipping to you. Then when you get your 10 in just mail me one back to replace it.

    Mep 803A Voltage 3phase

    One would get the equivalent boost if desired when running 120 or 120/240 too. The new VRs come pre-set to output nominal voltage but can be boosted up by adjusting the new front panel voltage potentiometer. If more voltage is needed there is a small potentiometer on the VR that can be...

    K2 Question

    The photo on the GMG site of it is exactly the same photo on Amazon so I suspect it's the same starter from DB Electrical. Same specs listed too. For others following the one on Amazon is half the price of the GMG.

    Unfortunately the OV fault sensing logic is inside the inverter. Have you tried moving the voltage adjust back and forth a few times before starting? Some people have experienced issues with their inverters due to moisture and high humidity. Some have had good results by running the engine for...

    K2 Question

    Where did you buy the starter from? Who was the distributor? I ask because I bought a spare to have for my 802 from DB Electrical via Amazon...

    circuit interrupter switch

    A potential replacement candidate for the 8906K4519 S5 Interruptor switch is a Honeywell 2TL1-70. They are about $35 from DigiKey and others. The contact operation of the 2TL1-70 is slightly different than the 8906K4519 so some wires would go to different terminals. I haven't tried it but it...

    MPU Motional Transducer for MEP-802A/803A

    To my knowledge the leads would be irrelevant. Shouldn't matter which lead is which. Just generates pulses to S14 to determine if the set is mostly up to speed.
