    MEP-701A MEP-016b Voltage Selector/Ground Question

    One can hope, my MEP-016D Yanmar conversion had a real creative mess in the control box. It "worked" or at least seemed to when I bought it which is strange enough, the hour meter read 0.4 hours, it turned out to be a 24VDC hour meter connected to the 120VAC line output tapped off one of the...

    MEP-701A MEP-016b Voltage Selector/Ground Question

    I would also say keep and eye on it, check the electrolyte levels in the battery and see what happens as the battery / batteries get charged.

    MEP-701A MEP-016b Voltage Selector/Ground Question

    ETN550, thanks for clearing up the details, you work with these more than I do, although it should probably be strongly noted that some units may be wired differently. For example my MEP-701a came with the ground jumper on L2 and has no ground modification labelling, panel outlet was also wired...

    MEP-701A MEP-016b Voltage Selector/Ground Question

    It may also help to visualize the meter as connected to the tie points that would become L2 and L3 if the voltage reconnection switch were set to the appropriate 3 phase voltage. Ike p.s. on the continuity issue, you would have the resistance of the windings when the generator is off, I don't...

    MEP-701A MEP-016b Voltage Selector/Ground Question

    Internally this is a 12 lead generator, the voltage reconnection switch just connects these leads in various combinations for your selected voltage. There are 2 possible connection combinations that can supply 120/240V single phase, those being double delta and low zig-zag, I think the MEP-701a...
