My original post has been restored, if that provides any additional info to anyone who didn't see it before.

It is two brand new (i assume with recycled materials) 12V tractor batteries in series. Would that make a difference at all as to the voltage draw to it?

Ok, thanks for the help. That does shed some light on it. I should just ignore the voltage associated with L3. I take it as it is acting as a internal ground for some reason, but is not a neutral like L0. I am going to do some tests and see what can be determined. L0, 1 and 2 all have full...

And in this thread, you can see there is zero voltage across 2 and 3, where as I have 120. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?82832-MEP-016B-Voltage-Selecotr since my original post disappeared, again, here is what I have for readings; V1-0 120 V2-0 120 V3-0 0 V1-2 240 V2-3 120...

Here is one thread that sorta touches on the fact that L3 acts as a ground. But the thread trails off so I am not sure what to make of it. Post #9 in this. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?76248-Center-Tap-Neutral-for-016B

Ok. So can I ignore the fact there is voltage from L3 to L2 or L1? There is another post on here where the user gets different readings, and I know ETN posted something a while back where L3 has phantom voltage. Maybe thats why my original post disappearred, as I had links to other threads.

I don't know why my original post disappeared. Thanks for the reply Isaac. Basically, the original question was why am I getting voltage from L3-L1 or L2-L3 in single phase 240v. I am not using 3 phase, does that matter? LO is grounded to the frame and I get the correct 120v or 240v readings...

Hi. I picked up a low hour (152) MEP701A for a decent price a couple of months back. It is in excellent condition. I converted it over to two 12V batteries with ETN's kit, and changed the voltage regulator since it was over charging. This is where I am currently; The battery charging...
