    MEP-002A Up and Running with Gauge Issues

    I finally managed to get a video of the behavior uploaded. http://s1288.beta.photobucket.com/user/bivenra/library/MEP-002A Just to reiterate, the MEP-002A was under no load and output voltage as tested with my handheld digital multimeter was steady at 120/240 from both the lugs and the...

    MEP-002A Up and Running with Gauge Issues

    Thanks for your input, Richard. I've resigned myself to replacing the AC voltmeter, since it's "sticky" anyway. I'm still suspicious of other electrical problems, though, and since I haven't gone through the electrical system thoroughly I thought I'd do that as well. More specifically, I've...

    BTW, I couldn't post the video here, but I captured a frame. This doesn't capture the erratic movement, but imagine the current gauge bouncing from 0-50 and the voltage needle bouncing off of the right side of the gauge. All the while, my hand-held digital meter reads correct, steady values at...

    MEP-002A Up and Running with Gauge Issues

    Thanks for the quick reply, Triple Jim, and the input on the shutters. Yes, the output lugs at L1-L3 are 240 and steady. L1-L0 and L3-L0 are both 120 and steady. The gauges are going wild, but the volt meter is steady as can be. I did notice that once I shut the unit down, the AC voltmeter...
