When I say nothing on the circuit I mean Open circuit.

Yes, I see the envelope to go to the "conversation". Got the info on testing the VR - here is what I tested: Step 1 on the test - Disconnect wire from 1/A1 - test from term 1 to 10 3500ohms, same from 1 to 11 - so this is a fail. Right? Step 2 - disconnect wire from term 12 - I get nothing...

Guyfang - I got an email saying that you responded when I checked my mail this morning - but when I open the thread it is not there. Still. I opened a conversation with you yesterday but have not been able to figure out how to get back to anything called a conversation. I think I must be...

BTW - the Droop CT test did show it to be bad if I tested it correctly. But is it not only used when paralleling?

806A I found wire to Freq select sw on terminal 3 disconnected (looked like is came loose). Went ahead and put it back on. And re installed droop CT. Same results. Potential transformer gets very hot when I flashed with the start switch for about 5 seconds - hot enough to start smelling...

For the record I am a baby in the generator world compared to some of you. My life has made me a "jack of all trades" to an extreme level. And it continues that way. One day I am working on a farm tractor, the next a man lift, then a genset, and might even throw in a dozer or even a truck...

A few things: I just read another post with Mcii explaining a lot about himself so that question is answered and I now have his phone and email. I recently retrofitted an non military genset (350Kva) with an aftermarket controller (for the engine and generator monitoring and safeties) an...

Does Mciikurzroot have a company that makes controls for these units? The unit I am working on could use some "dumbing down as well. I have thought about trying to spec a new set of controls - Governor, AVR and controller - but was not sure if it is the way to go. Any input?

RPM's good But not showing on panel meter, Unit will not produce correct voltage - about 25v (set on 208) an slowly goes up to 100v with switch in start position after running. Followed manual instructions and tested the "droop transformer" by making a quick brine load bank - the test showed...

Looking info on this unit. Any recommendations. I have found one for a fair price - says the 3ph won't work. Don't want to purchase without more info. Thanks

I have not been monitoring this site and just relying on an email to notify me of responses - sorry, for some reason I have not been getting notifications until now. For the record, I found wires disconnected on the transformer on the lower left side in the enclosure. Thanks for the diagrams.

I flashed the exciter with 12V - voltage on came up then the engine shut down. AL 8 ... on the screen. According to the TM 9-6115-729- 24 I have a lot of testing to do. Any input is appreciated.

going to work on them tomorrow. Let you know how it goes.

did not see one in the manuals forums. Any body have any? Thanks

I tried holding the switch in the closed position for longer periods. I will get the dc system working and follow up.

Will running the unit with 21 VDC overwork the voltage regulator. On one generator I worked on recently, the alternator voltage regulator had gone bad an ended up causing the voltage regulator to fail over time - theory was that it was either overworked trying to compensate for a variation in...

I set the ac interrupter switch to closed, but no change. Yes, I am talking about the contactor on the mains. Being new to these military units, I was hoping there was a "trick" in the startup procedure, that is why I posted such a simple post. Looks like we may have to get technical...:grin...

New to military gensets and to this forum. I am trying to help a friend get a MP803 running - it has power to the contact, but it appears that the contact is not getting a signal. Can anyone give me a good starting point. Thanks
