This generator ran like a champ. This summer it would "chug" when it was under utilized-I thought.
Now it chugs all the time. Frequency swings wildly as its running. It used to stay at 60hz. Now it goes from 58 tp 62.
Like I said, it ran fine the last two months.

This generator starts and runs. But the voltage is way off. See pic.
Phase 1 is 209, phase 2&3 are 109.
I've swapped voltage regulator and no difference. Any ideas?

We ate totally off grid. Ran a big shop that used up to 30kw. So the mep805b is the right size.
Diesel went up and we had to downsize. If I can figure out how to 'wire in' the 805b as "the grid", I can use it periodically to charge/ suppliment power at night and cloudy days.
I'm okay with...
I just plan on running it when the batteries are low. Rainy days and such. I have a phone app I should be able to monitor things. Plan on running the generator 6a to 10a. Then 6p yo 10p.

Currently have my 805b set up for 3 phase.
I'm off grid and am installing solar.
Can I use my 805b to augment my solar?
Anyone have an 805b with solar?
Ill post a pick. Shows -1
Battery voltage drops from 27 to 19 over a day and will shut down if the batteries are not swapped out.

My generator isn't charging the battery as it runs. I checked the alternator and swapped it out with a known good one.
So I've been swapping batteries daily.
What else can I check?
One thing I've noticed is that one battery will be 5% and the other at 97%. Weird.
On the gen display, if I click...
This generator ran well for two weeks. Stopped it, changed oil, now it cranks but won't start. Any ideas?
This one had an issue where the software screen went blank while cranking. Its not doing this now. Seems like if it fires up, it runs well. Just has problems starting.
