    MEP 802A Load Meter only showing about 1/4 what it should

    Got the 106B wire extended so that it would reach the fuse block. Unit was completely dead what I tried to start. Tracked that down to a bad CB1 breaker. I bypassed is and was able to fire up the unit. I had my meter connected in series with the ammeter but, alas, I get 0 mA when putting a...

    MEP 802A Load Meter only showing about 1/4 what it should

    Got the control box removed and replaced with my spare. While I had it out, I verified that all 12 wires from the genhead are wired correctly to TB3: After transferring the voltage regulator to the other control box along with the fuse mod, I discovered that wire 106B (# 8 ) was too short to...

    MEP 802A Load Meter only showing about 1/4 what it should

    Yes, I have used that load bank on both another 802 and a 803, and in both cases, the readings on the load bank digital display corresponded to the %Load meter readings. I pulled P6 from J6 and sprayed both insides with contact cleaner really well and plugged and unplugged several times. No...

    MEP 802A Load Meter only showing about 1/4 what it should

    Yours looks to be 2x4 count for each CT vs. the 2x8 count on mine. That would make sense since a 803 makes twice the power of a 802, so half the windings to get to 100% on a 1A ammeter. Here's mine: (before I cut the zip ties to count the turns)

    MEP 802A Load Meter only showing about 1/4 what it should

    Ok, I went through and verified the paths marked in green on the below schematic: I also counted the number of turns of the wires through CT2 and the total is 16. I'm 99% certain the count is 8 each of 002A and 008A as per the diagram below: I removed the wires from A1, B1 and C1 and got...

    MEP 802A Load Meter only showing about 1/4 what it should

    This is a continuation of the Picked up 6 MEP-802A gensets and will be documenting making them all runners here thread. This thread is specifically about the unit where the ammeter is showing a very low reading. I know the ammeter itself is ok since I swapped it with the one in my 803 set...
