    Another newbie with MEP002A questions - gauges and oil pressure

    The strainer (first canister after the pumps) is only held on with the 1/2 nut on the bottom. The other 2 filters are held by a 5/8 nut on top of the canisters, look on top of the frame where they are mounted.

    Another newbie with MEP002A questions - gauges and oil pressure

    Rirvin , I'm sorry to tell you that is a 10kw box. Your load meter should be reading 1/2 it's true value. BobbyT's box is a 5kw. Hectorsosa it's not 1 lead that runs through each hole, it's 2 individual leads (wires). They start at the pigtail in the back which you can't see, then one will run...

    No. After you start working on it you'll see what I mean. Two individual wires run through each hole, you'll take each wire loose and run them through the hole 2 more times. It is not just 1 wire that runs through the holes.

    You would cut the zip ties and follow the wires to where they are connected. Do 1 hole in the transformer at a time. Then take those wires and run them through the back of CVT1 hole, wrap around and go through the hole again, finally re-attaching them to the proper spot.

    That is a 10kw box. The problem is that your not dealing with 1 wire in each hole, it's 2 separate wires. I think that is where the confusion is coming from. In your picture, if you count the number of wires that are zip tied closest to you, you will count 4, that is what I mean by 4 wire count...

    What a second. The 5kw has 4 wraps making 8 wires to count. The 10kw will have 2 wraps with 4wire count. Both boxes are exactly the same, you don't have to add wires to convert a 10kw to a 5kw. I'll take a picture of my 5kw tomorrow so everyone can see. I've converted several boxes over the...

    Also take the top off and move the lug board out of the way, without disconnecting them. It will make life a lot easier.

    Another newbie with MEP002A questions - gauges and oil pressure

    Don't take the reconnection switch out! Its a PITA! There is enough wire to do whatever you need because everything is the same between each. On the 10kw they zip tie the extra wire out of the way. One wire is connected to the reconnection switch and one is attached to the strip mounted on the...

    It should be wrapped 4 times for a total of 8 wires running through the hole. The 10kw has 1/2 the number of windings.

    What you need to do for you Voltage and load gauge is work the VM/AM switch on the front of the panel and the reconnection switch. Also check for loose connections on the VM/AM switch. Most of the time if you rotate both switches about 50 times, you'll see your meters running better. The oil...
