    MEP 1030A

    Have you tested the Exciter Stator resistance to be sure it's good? TM says it should be about 12 ohms. Have you measured the DC voltage going to the Exciter Stator while the genset is flashing the gen head to verify the DCS is sending the flashing voltage? If you do see a flashing voltage to...

    MEP 1030A

    Have you performed the troubleshooting steps in the -24 TM for that fault? Results?

    MEP 1030A

    There is no need to externally "flash" the gen head. THE DCS takes care of doing that automatically. Excerpt from the -10 operators manual... Field circuit in lower left below

    Auxilary fuel pump force on

    The connection between the A9 and the float switch is done with a 4 pin Molex connector. To do the mod without cutting any wire could be done by building a little adapter like with a male and female Molex connector to tap into the FL2 circuit. Something like this...

    Auxilary fuel pump force on

    I'd suggest connecting your toggle switch across the FL2 float switch and not do it by providing power directly to the Aux Pump. Providing power directly to the pump will backfeed into the A9 possibly damaging it. Wiring to the FL2 circuit would require removing the end panel covering the fuel...

    MEP-804A Low Voltage - Voltage Regulator Question

    Test "h" is verifying the generator is generating the correct flashing voltage. Also getting a reading between 4 and 12 volts indicates continuity to the static exciter. If there was a wiring issue or the static exciter was bad the voltage measured would likely be closer to 24 volts. Test "j"...

    MEP-804A Low Voltage - Voltage Regulator Question

    From the pics posted below it appears to be a Libby. Green paint and Libby showing between the wires.

    MEP-803A mixed load test results

    Check out this thread. Lots of good info on things to test to track down the cause of a false overload. False Overload Issues

    what is oil pressure for mep831a

    I did put a gauge on one of my 831's. As I recall when initially started it was about 125 PSI. And is warmed up it dropped to about 80-90 PSI.

    Looking for 2 burden resistors for an 802A generator.

    Yes same resistors used in 802s and 803s

    MEP 802a trips overload at anything over 4000 watts

    I've searched and didn't find that resistor as well and a direct substitute that was previously available. An option would be to use a RE70G7R50C02 chassis mount resistor.

    MEP 802a trips overload at anything over 4000 watts

    Since you have the same voltages across R12 and R13 I'd suspect one of those burden resistors failed and is open circuit.
