Quick question. I have an MEP006 where the frequency knob is not adjusting the frequency output. Tested switch/knob met specs in documentation but I bought another. Same results so I am wondering if maybe it is wired incorrectly or there is a manual adjustment somewhere? I am getting 55 - 57...

Schneider Inverters Thanks for confirming. I have a cheaper solution than 3 inverters. I will be trying it out next weekend. I have done these phase shifting in the past with good line conditioners and since EVERYTHING else but the inverter runs fine on the three phase power, this may be an...

Okay, time to update. It has certainly been a challenge. I have the solar panels, inverter and 48 volts (3 banks of 48volts ) batteries connected to Schnieder inverter. All works well but the inverter is too smart for the MEP006 Three Phase. It does not like the fact that the two hot lines...

vFinal update as the problem is solved. Rodents chewed a bundle of cables. Not once in two different places. 84 solder and shrink tube later, bundle repaired. Hooked up batteries, nothing. So started over. Do batteries still have charge. Yes all 4 had 13 or 12,5 volts. BUT I noticed on the...

update. Still no power. I am looking closer at batteries first. The local NAPA store said they did a test but I am getting a dead short on two of four batteries. I am going to hook up just 24 V and see if I get dash. It almost looks like one battery in each pair is fried. Since they appear to...

Thanks for all the help. Sorry for the delay, life sometimes gets in the way. Okay, took out batteries, had them load tested and recharged. Put back into truck and now NO power to switch or dash. I am thinking some critter chewed something while i was gone.Will check out the switch this weekend...

Thanks for the input. I agree, it is something small and when I find it I will laugh and post it here. I will try the in the dark idea, although I sometimes feel I am already in the dark! Thanks for the help. I was focused on making it run at 100 percent and it is perfect now except for these...

Thanks for the help.

Sorry, that is what I get for trying to reply on a smartphone! Thanks.

MWMULES, I will do that although they are new, but with the huge drain they just went through I am concerned. IS the alternator adjustment process in the TM, I am not on site so if there is any insight as to how and tools I will need that would help as farm is off grid and a 40 minute drive one...

Mep006 Yes, I noticed that too, but I did find the correct TM.. The main breaker did not trip, just the breaker on the 110 outlet. I have been snowed in most of winter and will be working onthe gen this weekend. Hz meter works but rheostat type of adjuster has no effect on meter. I will look...

Thanks! I am thinking the same thing. I knew there was drain while running, but when it happened was stumped and was not thinking. I will look at alternator this weekend. I will recharge batteries as well. I am thinking the alternator is not working and maybe a rebuild kit or replacement will...

This forum has been great and I have a really strange problem happening on my 5 ton. If it sits too long, batteries drained. Fix this with a solar panel and 24 volt conversion for trickle charge. Now, with engine running the gauge stays in yellow upon startup and the longer the vehicle runs...

Thanks to everyone. I was offline due to work and some family issues with elder parent, but I wanted to thank everyone again for the help. Generator is running now with no issues except 110 outlets on the unit itself and an inoperable HZ adjustment. I will will work on those over the next few...

MEP006 bit much for house That is what I remembered. So we may run 3 phase to Pole Barn and then sub panel house off that. I will have to noodle that out this weekend. The house won't require much and the MEP006 was way overkill, but price was right. Yes, I had to fiddle with it to make it...

No issue. Will keep you up to date. Inverter was going to be XW+ 5548 Power System from Schneider Electric. I have not had time to dig,but at one point I remember it could handle 3 phase, just don't remember the cost or configuration. I am also concerned about additional battery storage...

Chris. Yes, it is a hybrid. It has wind and solar. We are using this generator for the large pole barn equipment and then the house. We are in the build phase and I still might do the 3 phase electric. Working on the solar inverter and if it will output 3 phase, we are golden. Thanks for the...

Chris: Thinking of leaving it 3 phase and then do a step down transformer/converter. I really hate to monkey with original gear although from what I have read ( very little) the mod is something that can be done and if I don't like it, later remove. What are your thoughts? I know price on the...

Okay, rebuilt the voltage regulator. System generates power as I said. Will hook up and see how it powers pole barn and future house. The surging appears to be bad fuel. I changed filters that were clogged, runs fine. Checked filters again and the primary is gunked again. I did flush out tank...
