    Known Running MEP-803A stops making power randomly - S5 or K1?

    S5 operates as follows... In the center position pin 2 is connected to pin 3. This is what holds the contactor closed once it has been closed. In the CLOSE position pin 2 is connected to pin 3 & pin 5 is connected to pin 6. Contact closure between pin 5 & pin 6 is what causes the contactor to...

    Why is my MEP 803a not putting out voltage?????/????

    When using S5 you should only need to push it up for a moment and then release it. It's return to the center position. The green light above it should come on indicating the contactor has closed and power should be present at the lugs. If the green light does not come on it generally...

    My MEP-803a experience

    Dropout voltage for a HH52P series relay is 10% of rated DC coil voltage which is 2.4 V. Ought to be good. Might want to secure the relay to the socket so it doesn't vibrate out. I don't see a locking bale on it.

    803 Bogs Down and dies at 85% Load

    My drawing in my earlier post was from the 802A manual. Here it is from the 803 manual TM 9-6115-642-24 dated 1 September 1993 According to the TM the Pull wire from pin 2 of the P14/J14 connection is wire 183A. From there wire 183A should go to P6-37. From J6-37 wire 183B should go to...

    803 Bogs Down and dies at 85% Load

    The "schematic" in the TM does not depict how connections between various points are made, just that they are electrically connected. The details on exactly how the connections are made are contained in the 5 pages after the schematic. Takes a bit to draw up exactly how connections are made for...

    MEP-802A has power at the convenient outlets but no power at the terminals.

    You need to get your hands on TM 9-6115-641-24 for maintenance and repair. Also TM 9-6115-641-10 for basic setup and operation of the 802A. Link below to the manuals courtesy of our awesome Guyfang...

    MEP-004a or 005a voltage regulator

    I'd assume the ADVR-054 requires a minimum AC voltage across it's to sense leads for it to generate any field voltage. Did you measure what residual AC voltage the new regulator has across it's sense leads? Could be the residual AC voltage the generator puts out is too low for the new regulator...

    MEP-802A voltage readings not right.

    Just as a reminder for others reading this thread in the future. NEVER temporarily bypass the QUAD Mod fuse with a jumper unless you are absolutely certain the the Voltage regulator is good. Why? The primary purpose of the fuse is to protect the Quad winding from a shorted out voltage...

    My MEP-803a experience

    Direct sunlight make a huge difference in solar panel output. With indirect sunlight my solar panels put out 150-300 watts. With direct sunlight they kick out 1,700 watts.

    MEP803A Resistor - Diode Assembly

    Looks like both CR1 and CR2 have been replaced based on the solder blobs and corrosion on their leads in the pics. V5 looks baked too. Ought to be red in color.
