    Mep-802a. Any reason not to drive ground rod?

    Code in my area calls for additional grounds at detached buildings (which are tied into the panel and structure), but one and only one point of bonding (service entrance, before first use). I sorted through this topic a while back in this post...

    MEP-803a panel lights flickering

    My diode stopped diode-ing, CR1 measured 1.8 ohms both directions. Replaced CR1 and CR2 with new doubled-up diodes and lights/pump are steady as a rock now. Ready for the next hurricane, thanks guys! -- Carl

    Jumping MT-4 makes no difference. @Guyfang I hear you about vibration, but it happens without the engine running, just the fuel pump running, and on the other hand can go for long periods of time with the engine running without a problem it doesn't seem to add up. I'm going to replace the...

    MEP-803a panel lights flickering

    I found that batteries in my meter were dead, so ignore previous reading. I got 0.2 ohms between gauges, 0.2 ohms gauge to panel ground, and 1.2 ohms panel ground to main engine ground. The problem is intermittent so it might be in that path but we're just not seeing it at the moment. Will...

    MEP-803a panel lights flickering

    Okay, tried unplugging the pump. No variation in the lights with the pump unplugged and the switch in the prime and run position, engine not running. I repeated the test with the aux pump running, but not the engine, and it behaves the same way as when the main pump is in the circuit. That is...
