    MEP-015a Low Voltage

    Thanks for the input! My biggest worry was if the transducer and the SX-460 can coexist. I think you are right that it really shouldn't make any difference. The wiring diagram for the MEP-015 seems to indicate that the same 4 wires that went to the original VR can just be hooked up right to...

    MEP-015a Low Voltage

    Alright so the problems start immediately... I got the sx460. It already will require modifications to fit into the control box. Does anyone have any insight on wiring this sucker? The wiring would be very simple, however it has the voltage transducer for the gauge. Does that have any effect...

    MEP-015a Low Voltage

    I prefer factory, but when parts become ridiculously expensive and look worse than the one that I have it may be the right time to move on to newer things. I think it should have a very acceptable service life, considering people have used them in much much larger generators than 1.5kw. I...

    MEP-015a Low Voltage

    Any thoughts on just ditching the 1960s electronics and installing an SX460 clone? That seems to be the go to method for both military equipment guys and other generator replacement. At $30 vs $130 it may be a good deal... Even though it is Chinese, electronics have come a long way. -Will

    MEP-015a Low Voltage

    Haha! I will repeat the test and confirm that was the value I was talking about. Will keep you posted. Will check for available replacement. -Will

    MEP-015a Low Voltage

    I will have to confirm if that was the exact one I am referring to. It may be though - I swear that the TM I saw and was following said "voltage should be 25v....but the voltage regulator is only bad if there is a reading of 0v." Meaning it doesn't mention any value slightly less than 25v. I...

    MEP-015a Low Voltage

    Hello, I have an MEP-015a generator that has always ran fine and puts out plenty of power. However, it has always put out slightly low voltage, even if the voltage adjusting knob is at full adjustment. The voltage is about 115.5 at no load. I went through the military TM and checked out each...
