    802a Connection corrosion

    Well, it wouldn't bother me to leave it alone if it would be ok. I think it's just the screw heads, that's why I asked "or just leave it alone". So far the consensus has been to clean them up with products recommended or replace the screws. I would be happy to just spray something on them and...

    802a Connection corrosion

    Yeah, this is the oldest 802 I have "99" all my others are 08-10. This one's seen some things. Had a reset tag removed so don't know what level/hours. Meter has 900 hours. Runs great and overall condition is pretty good just those 2 TB's have a bunch of corrosion on the screws.

    802a Connection corrosion

    So once clean with whatever method I end up using. Should I spray all terminals with Boeshield t-9 or fluid film to prevent rust/corrosion of the terminals?

    802a Connection corrosion

    Opened up one of my 802a's and a bunch of screw heads have quite a bit of rust/corrosion on them. The control box is fine it's the section behind that on TB-3 and TB-4 What would be good to spray/brush on to stop it from getting worse, or just leave it alone?

    MEP003 voltage not stable

    Guyfang, just to clear up. I fully respect your comment. I didn't feel I was overloading running 11-12k 46-50 amps. We all know 10k is a conservative number these are given. Was I running it running at max? Yes. That was the goal. Work it to max and see if there are any issues that pop up. I...

    MEP003 voltage not stable

    I will check these things out and see if it does it any more. While I had the machine off between run times, I did cycle that VR pot knob back and fourth quite a bit to see if maybe was dirty. Haven't seen the issue again. Maybe it was that. Will try to get some contact cleaner in it and cycle...

    MEP003 voltage not stable

    DMM, killawatt meter, and the machine gauges all showed same thing.

    MEP003 voltage not stable

    Well I didn't run 14k it was 13 in my post, and I re checked what it was and 13k was not correct either, I never plugged in the other heater I had out so or was actually 12 was the max I ran. My apologies for the wrong number. I realize they say 10k but those numbers don't match the 52 amp...

    MEP003 voltage not stable

    First couple time running this machine has been running well. Put a 13k load on it for about 45 mins a week ago. Today I was running a more normal load 11-12k. When first started machine voltage was 128 on L1 and L3 60Hz then went to 120 each. Put load on, then the 50 amp breaker I have after...

    Another MEP003 is alive

    The gauge I am looking at uses 4 wires. hot/neutral for volt and Hz, the other 2 for the CT. I havnt tested but I am hoping the HZ is on the lines to the volt meter lines. And I am hoping the load gauge lines I can hook to the 2 connections for the CT. If this will all work that way would be...

    Another MEP003 is alive

    Another member has offered me a NOS tank I am going to go with and hopefully not ever have to wory about a tank again in my life, or as long as I have it. Old one lasted 34 years and maybe this one will do the same. On another note, anyone have the wire hookup for aftermarket digital gauges...

    Gentlemen, For a Amp meter/load meter is the CT that feeds the gauge in amps or milliamps?

    Another MEP003 is alive

    Thank you. Also, looking at these kits I am seeing a 10 gal tank option or 20 gal. Is the 10 enough for this or should I get the larger one and pour out the extra?
