    Voltage locations in MEP-003 control cubicle

    yes, in those pictures i did just a quick hookup just to see them working. the best way is to set these up to monitor voltage and current on each hot leg. this would normally show 120 as the voltage reading. i connect them to the input side of the main breaker. this way they are on when the...

    Gauges for military generators

    when i changed out my hour meters i always used the hobbs brand which was what the military has in these units originally i think. i havent had a problem as of yet with it and there are many gensets with thousands of hours on the meter although with that said when i was a mech in the army...

    MEP-003 hooked to the house

    missed this one....to m16ty, if those are my gauges on your gen then those are reading correct. i take all my electronics before assembly and zero them out to 60hz. i never rely on them to be set correctly at the factory. the ones in your panel can normally be off +-.5 or so. found that out a...

    Disconnecting Battery of MEP-002A or MEP-003A While Running: Damage?

    thats awesome jim. glad you decided to do this. i know many including myself have been asking for quite a long time. as usual it looks quite professional and im sure the inside is done to the same detail. i actually might need one for my 002. i have to dig into it a little bit and do some...

    MEP-002 Tripping DC Control Circuit Breaker

    it needs power to produce power. when it just starts up you need to hold in the start position to generate the magnetic field so it can produce power. its fairly normal and time needed seems to vary a bit from generator to generator.

    MEP-003a won't crank

    i really dont know roger. i know guys here have said the gear reductions are nicer on the generators but im sure the ebay ones are some type of import or something. i dont know anyone that has had one. if my starter went i would certainly buy one. new starters of the original type are crazy...

    MEP-003a won't crank

    You can buy the solenoid. Southern automotive makes them but if i remember right they are around 80 bucks. For about 130 you can pick up a brand new style gear reduction starter on ebay. I know they are on there. You just have to do a search. If you cant find it send me a pm.
