    MEP-805B parts free for postage

    We had the stock 240 - 33 ohm sending unit intact, and found that this is some kind of standard. Amazon had an inexpensive digital readout that was compatible. Just checked amazon and they offer the sending units in a number of different lengths, again at bargain prices.

    MEP806b tips and tricks

    Here's a link to the "final" word on what I did to the set https://tinyurl.com/hnj2ssj8 It would offend the preservationists, but it was purchased as backup power, not historical preservation. With a lot of help from forum members, I think that's what we have now. Questions cheerfully...

    240V 3ph on MEP-806B. Is it safe?

    A lot of electronics stuff these days have switching power supplies and the nameplate input will indicate some range like 100-240 volts (or anywhere in between). If hat's the case then the 138 would be OK. We left ours at 208 and the biggest loads are trailer A/C units. The compressors are...

    MEP-805B parts free for postage

    Here’s an update on my (brother’s) MEP-805B. Early on (this goes back to December) I received LOTS of help from members of this forum, and a number of inquiries about this “project”. Brother Rich bought the unit as backup 3-phase power for his business, not as an historic restoration project...

    MEP-805B parts free for postage

    With lots of help from some forum members, I replaced the control system on our MEP-805B. Some parts (like the CIM) have already found new homes. What's left, and available for the cost of USPS Flat Rate box postage, are the backplane, I/O Module, Sync CT, the Sync Load Sharing module and...

    Generator Hook up 1 phase zig zag or double delta

    Just what I will be looking for! So 4,5,6 are the normal wye neutral; agreed. So you are saying take 5 off that old neutral and instead connect it to 3. Now your single phase neutral is just 4 & 6. So your two new hots are 1 & 3. What do you do with 2 ? Don

    MEP-805B throttle actuator problem

    Thanks, but we've checked continuity from the actuator to P5 (the backplane connecctor), so that's not it.

    MEP-805B throttle actuator problem

    Haven't touched the MPU. As I understand what you're saying is that it's SCU that is "the governor". And the CIM merely shows info from various sensors (MPU, CT's, etc). Since the CIM is showing the frequency as it changes, I figured the MPU was OK. I printed out the 5 pages showing...

    MEP-805B throttle actuator problem

    Mine is dated 1 July 2000 PCN 182 092491 00 When I open View attachment TM 9-6115-671-14 - Copy (1).pdf , it's only a single blank page. And this one View attachment TM 9-6115-671-24P.pdf is completely different (and not much help).

    MEP-805B throttle actuator problem

    Our TM is 9-6115-671-14 that came with the generator. It has the 4 foldout wiring diagrams at the back, but I don't see any reference there to the Governor Control Power Relay, either coil or contacts. TIA Don

    MEP-805B throttle actuator problem

    Just found this forum. What a treasure trove of info! My brother picked a practically new MEP-805B and used it for over a year. Then one day the engine just shut down. He thought it was out of fuel - nope. He's the mechanical guy; I'm supposed to be the electrical guy. We finally pinned...
