Anyone have experience with one of these? Seems like good units but more high tech and I wonder about support from the forum and parts. They seem more rare. Was wondering about putting some big battery on the 952B and a big inverter. Some of the inverters have auto start / stop on the gen...

The tech manuals state to ground the L2 output for single phase 120 and 240 applications. However, both of my MEP-016B gen sets have the L0 output grounded to the generator frame from the inside of the control box on the L0 inside terminal. Neither the manuals or schematics show this ground...

Hi everyone and good evening! If all of the smaller MEPs use a similar method of running the frequency meter then maybe anyone can help. Please chime in. MEP 002 and 003 panels look the same as my 016B. One of my 016B's has decided to challenge my knowledge of the frequency meter system...

I bought a variety of outlets that I need to use with my MEP-016B and made a box. One side is for the 120 VAC single phase setting and the other side is for the 240 VAC single phase setting. On the 240 side the 120VAC duplex outlet shown takes one outlet off of L1 - L0 and the other outlet off...

Just thought I would share a major upgrade I made regarding the trouble prone throttle cable on the 016B. The existing cable creeps down or skips when tightened. Inspection revealed that it is a lightweight design. The existing cable uses only 1 ball bearing in the screw mechanism and uses a...

Hi, Just wondering what everyone thinks of the 831A with the small Yanmar engine, Permanant Magnet generator, inverter. I like the concept but is it reliable? Can it be serviced and repaired by the hobbist? Parts available? How quiet is it? I have seen over 10,000 have been...

Hope Someone can help here. I have decided to attach a 4 wire cord to my output lugs and take it to a custom made box with a variety of outlets on it which I can use for different devices. The manuals have a large number of errors in them so I am wary of trusting the manuals as there are...

A couple of easy questions for you pros out there!! 1. What are the little wire clips used for on the split lugs where the load wires are attached? 2. I noticed when diagnosing some potential control panel problems that the $150.00 Airpax relays K1-K4 are 8 pin and appear to be symetrical...

Trying to understand the 3ph generator and what acceptable loads are. The unit is 3KW rated but shows about 95% load when a 4kw resistive load is applied at 240VAC 1ph. With the redistribution switch in the 240 VAC 1ph position the load switch will register the same load for L1 and L2...

Hi Everyone, I have been lurking here a while gathering info on the smaller generators. I recently acquired a couple of MEP-016Bs from a GL auction. Got them home and have been working on checking them over and making them ready for use. I have one running pretty well and can call it a...
