72-2500 Exciter

[dcfostermn]

I am looking for an exciter assembly for a 72-2500 generator. The exciter is part of the generator head. Where might I find one?

It would help if you told us what gen set it goes to. Looks like a 30 KW, maybe a MEP-005A?

Whats wrong with the one you have?

I am guessing it is an MEP005A, but there is no data plate verifying this. The plate says 72-500, 30KW.

I don't have access to the generator directly ... it is located in Haiti. I provide them support as best I can. The mechanic there working on it has just asked for a new exciter assembly. I haven't been able to find any leads on one, not even a part number.

Any help is appreciated.

Its the 50/60 main gen for the MEP-005A, according to the TM. Whats wrong with the one you have?

72-500 is the part number. 107D240G01 is also a part number. I looked through fleebay, nothing. Put a want add in the forum. Try green mountain. Try a guy in fleebay with the name, I think of cowsil?

Better yet, ask whats wrong with the one on site. Testing is easy. Read the book. Could be just diodes. Or the exciter stator. I think I even saw one while looking in fleebay.
