    MEP-804a K1 Contactor Issues

    Yes, closing the loop, even 6-12 months after the fact is important to me. Being a moderator on other forums and FB groups has taught me that there are a lot of requests for technical help and then no follow up to know which suggestions worked or how the problem was solved. We are clear on the...

    MEP-804a K1 Contactor Issues

    I wanted to circle back on the last comment of the temp gauge issue back in December (in case someone is doing a search in the future and finds this thread). Got the 804A out last weekend to exercise it a bit since I last ran it in Dec when I posted this. Happy to report the contactor worked...

    MEP-804a K1 Contactor Issues

    I purchased this MEP-804a back in early 2020 and it has worked flawlessly. PO used it to power a trash compactor and I've used it to power a couple pieces of 3 ph equipment. Since I wasn't using anywhere close to its capacity, I was lucky enough to find a load bank to load up the unit and put it...
