    MEP-803A smoking under load.

    12.5 kw is what a MEP803 is good for with a resistive load. 80% derating gets you to the military rating of 10kw. You can run at 70% - 80% for 2 or 3 hours on the percent load meter to clean it up. I would not put a 15kw load on an 803 for very long.... 9kw should be sufficient.
