    Burned out Resistors and semiconductors 803a

    Earlier his year someone here posted up that the Vishay FSOT2011E7R500JE will work for replacing R10-R13. Mouser has them in stock. About $30 a pop. https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Vishay-Huntington/FSOT2011E7R500JE/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMtbXrIkmrvidKrBvFdHgbZ4FmfLn8FO6ZqaUbmETcfYIA%3D%3D They...

    MEP-8xx in White Ford RT 495 Massachusetts

    Spotted what looked like a nice MEP-8xx being hauled in the bed of a white Ford SuperDuty on RT 495 here in Mass. Anyone here on SS?

    MEP-803A Low Voltage

    You're getting there! With the set running and S1 in the START position do you get AC voltage across A1 terminals 7 & 8? What is the voltage? With the set running and S1 in the START position do you get 120 VAC voltage across A1 terminals 3 & 4?

    MEP-831A Freq Converter (A8) rebuild - anybody have luck with repairing these?

    Would like to hear if you can confirm this is true for 120V operation. Some have stated that in 120 V mode you can pull all 3 KW from say L1-N, others have said no, you can only pull 1.5 KW from L1-N, and 1.5 KW from L2-N in 120 V mode.

    I assumed pic#1 that shows what looks to be a loop back connector was your gen set.

    Going through auction 803a

    Since it requires a "loopback plug" I suspect removing it isn't a simple as just removing all the wiring. My hunch is that some of the meters, which are current meters, are hooked in series with the remote meters or need the loopback plug installed for the internal current meters to operate...

    55 gallon drum pickup tube

    I too made a electric pump system for pulling diesel out of my 55 gal drums. I put a fuel filter/water separator in line to catch any debris or water. Also put 1/4 valves on the inlet and outlet ports to prevent it from back flushing the filter when draining the pickup tube back into the drum...

    55 gallon drum pickup tube

    An alternative would be to use a desiccant breather to help keep moisture from getting into a drum.

    Mep-802A. No power at convenience receptacle

    I suspect earlier sets like mine had the fuse but not the CB on the side of the GFCI. Yours has the CB on the side of the GFCI so no in-line fuse is needed. Yes - that's the CB to reset for the convenience outlet. It's possible your set isn't producing power at all.... I'd suggest downloading...

    Mep-802A. No power at convenience receptacle

    Does the generators AC voltmeter indicate either 120 volts or 240 volts when it's running? My 1994 802 has an in-line fuse instead of the breaker. On mine the fuse to the left of the leftmost relay zip tied to the top of the large white wire bundle.

    MEP-803 Overload and Burden Resisitors

    Does the current transformer have the correct number of loops thru each coil? What is the AC voltage across each of the burden resistors at 10 KW? From my tests I believe the voltage across them should be ~ 5.6 V at 100% load.
