    MEP-002A and -003A main breaker

    Am pretty sure it is not simple to bypass main breaker (to use a conventional one) if you want to keep original gauge & control circuitry. The 6 18g wires that go in & out of breaker are involved in a few circuits.

    MEP-002A and -003A main breaker

    That is what I would have figured too, but the parts TMs list them as having the same NSN, so I thought it was controlled by R-3 setting. Is the TM wrong? (would not be the first time). Is there a way to change set point? Others seem to have agreed it is the same. I really don't know.

    MEP-002A and -003A main breaker

    I did check CT1 and resistance was in spec. Reconnection switch on this unit looks new and freshly installed, making me wonder if it was installed correctly. I don't know about CT31 and 32, will have to look into that.

    MEP-002A and -003A main breaker

    Thanks Peter, that's interesting about the paralleling in the breaker. Another note, on the output box that I was having troubles with, changing the R-3 adjustment made no difference, it was holding at about 3 times the suggested setting of .6 amps even though I was moving the R-3 shaft. (as...

    MEP-002A and -003A main breaker

    I was having same problem this summer with an 003 that tripped at around 30A. I did swap breakers out of a 002 that would bog down on overload without tripping breaker. I have since adjusted the R-3 on that 002. There was something else wrong with the control box circuitry, it was not the...

    MEP-002A and -003A main breaker

    I'm following this. Learned something about it when my new 003 would trip breaker at less than 100% load. The breaker is the same NSN for the 002 as the 003, from what I can tell from TMs and by comparing actual parts. Wouldn't the R-3 circuit preclude just putting in a standard breaker? I...
