    MEP-804A single phase 120/240 conversion issue

    I'm completely off grid and feed the 804a into a Xantrex XW 6400 to charge my battery bank when needed. The Xantrex gets really cranky about qualifying the power feed when the phase is 120 degrees out of sync when I use two legs. End result an autotransformer with a feed from a single leg...

    MEP-804A single phase 120/240 conversion issue

    Definitely an 804a according to the identification plate on the side of the generator housing and definitely 10 leads out.

    MEP-804A single phase 120/240 conversion issue

    I didn't get time to attempt a conversion this summer due to other commitments and have just been running the MEP-804A through an auto-transformer to bump up the voltage from 120 -> 240 for the short term using a single leg of the 3 phase. Hopefully next summer I can get it broken down and see...

    MEP-804A single phase 120/240 conversion issue

    I've reverted the wiring back to the original 3-phase setup (with a fancy jumper from T11 -> T12 now ;). I'll see if I can get access easily to the generator head a bit later today. Depending on how bad that is I may shelve this project until spring when the generator usage/need is a lot less...

    MEP-804A single phase 120/240 conversion issue

    (Grumble)... See that now on the wiring diagram. Thanks for pointing that out. =/ Other folks had indicated it couldn't be done but no one actually ever said -why- in any of the threads I found. For now I'm going to switch it back to the original 3-phase configuration and run it through an...

    MEP-804A single phase 120/240 conversion issue

    Will do. I was hoping, if this last issue can be resolved, to do an addendum to the 004-006 conversion thread. The fact that I got a qualified signal on my internal charger/inverter gives me high hopes that it is do-able. Just kind of hit a road block since the TMs for the MEP-804A leave a...

    MEP-804A single phase 120/240 conversion issue

    Greetings. I've been reworking a MEP-804A going from a low WYE three-phase into a zig zag 120/240 single phase conversion using the instructions for the MEP-004 conversion. Primarily using this for a completely off grid house power system for charging up my batteries during the long, dark...
