    002 voltage issue

    Yes I did that. Meter on the machines, kill a watt and volt meter all indicate the same thing

    002 voltage issue

    I changed the VR board and it is still dropping voltage as I add to the draw. It dropped from 120-121 per leg to 113-114 with a 40% load. I don't recall it doing that before but maybe I didn't pay enough attention. Where to from here? Thanks ETA: For grins and giggles I turned on the 3500...

    002 voltage issue

    I have one of them sitting here in a box that I got a year or so back. Guess I'll switch it out and see what that does.

    002 voltage issue

    It had been a couple months since starting the 002 so I did earlier this evening. I started putting a load on it and up to 15-20% all seemed fine. At 25 the voltage had dropped slightly. At 40-45 it had dropped to 230. At 65 it was down to about 222. HZ remained constant at 61-61.5. This was...

    Can I ask a question about an auction that ended earlier this evening

    OKAY! There were 35 802's in Chambersburg, Pa (it said @ Letterkenny). They didn't seem to sell. They had a reserve on them. Do you think that is why they didn't sell or were they all junk? They didn't look bad in the pics, some with really low hours. I think only two sold, 1 for $800 and 1...

    Which Diesel Generator Would You Recommend or NOT Recommend?????

    I agree with this as well. I have an 002 hooked up to the house for backup. I have an 003 sitting there for backup. I got the smaller one first and before really using it I figured I'd get the 003 and use it primary and the 002 for backup to it. I haven't ran into a case where I've needed the...

    What is good on HZ and volts?

    Like Jimbo913 I set the hz @ 61.5 with no load. Depending on load it will drop a bit from there. Usually around 60 or slightly over with a heavy load. You can always adjust a bit as needed. 120 volts or 240 volts o the voltage.

    It's been 3-1/2 years but now its finally worth it!

    That's great :beer: I've had to use mine on 3 occasions since getting it. Longest period was 9 or 10 hours. We've gone as long a 6 days in the past (hope that never happens again).

    Will MEP-802A run a 18000 BTU 3 Phase ECU?

    How many watts does the ecu draw? How many amps? The 802 is 5kw and I believe just over 17 watts per leg? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

    Question - MEP-003 - Incorporating Ground From Lug on Chassis Into 4-Conductor Cable

    I am no expert but there are people here who are. You have two completely different setups as I understand it. I am not going to go into detail so I don't cause confusion but I am sure someone will chime in. There is a lot of information in the sticky at the top of the page...

    Gensets at auction with oil filter and radiator hoses pulled? WTF?

    I bought an 003 and it had the filter canisters all sitting in the battery box. No filters. It's probably not the best thing seeing it could allow insects, dirt, etc in but I haven't had any issues with the unit. It was all clean, I wiped it off and put filters on. I'm guessing they know they...

    MEP-002 Awakened/ Spare Parts Questions

    Set it to 60 HZ and you will be at the 1800 RPM.s. That is how you get the proper RPM. I run mine at 61.5 HZ.

    New guy with MEP-002A questions

    I've never switched anything thing to synthetic. It seems I read somewhere you have to flush the engine before doing that? Is that really necessary or can I just drain good and add synthetic. My oil is getting old enough I probably should change it so I'll probably do so come spring. It only has...

    Yes! The onboard meter show the same thing. That is why I checked it with the meter.

    mep-003 gen batt charging questions

    My 002 sends about 27 volts to the batteries when I start it. It builds voltage the longer it runs and peaks at 31. I verified that with my volt meter. I put new batteries on it and it still does it.

    Newbie looking for info/people familiar with the MEP 002a and others

    If you got them in Pa you will pay 6% sales tax (other states will be at their rate) plus the 10% fee to GL. Not sure if you included that in your invoice estimate or not.
