    MEP803A Resistor - Diode Assembly

    Well, there was one add on C-list i found somewhere in OH that a guy was getting rid of 3 803A at a $1000 a piece. All were non running units that the seller says they had water in the oil. Would make a good parts unit if it couldn't be fixed. Their still out there...just got to have patience.

    MEP803A Resistor - Diode Assembly

    It's gonna make you cry... Grand total from GL at the time, $722. There's still deals out there,but you gotta be both patience......and lucky with the auctions.

    MEP803A Resistor - Diode Assembly

    I actually put a bid on that auction when it popped up. Was going to see if I could get it at the same price I got my last one for out of Albany MCLB. But I knew that wasn't probably going to happen...considering how the prices have sky rocketed over the past 3 years or so. Glad to hear you...

    IEC60309 IEC309 Pin and Sleeve Connectors

    That's what i was thinking they were rated at...but wasn't sure about. I got a 84Kw @ 480v 3 Phase powdercoat/burnoff oven i got off of GL a year ago and been waiting for the right connectors for the power supply to come by at the right price.

    IEC60309 IEC309 Pin and Sleeve Connectors

    Here's a question about the connectors. Are they rated by total amps the connector can handle at the specified voltage, or are they rated per pole?

    What is the brownish they dip the generator stator In to seal and protect them?

    If you want to build a vacuum chamber big enough to do multiple size rotors/states for motors/generators, you could try to build it out of concrete. Take a 55 gal steel drum, and drill a 1" diameter hole in the bottom of it. Then mount a 1" black iron pipe to the hole and let it stick out about...

    Where oh where might the TM be? (Applied Companies GETT Generator and ECU)

    Yeah....2/3 of rated output is right. Something my fingers type something else than what my mind is thinking. I was trying to say it was 1/3 less than maximum output. Working on too many projects at one time can cause trouble. :p

    Where oh where might the TM be? (Applied Companies GETT Generator and ECU)

    That's the one i called about. I didn't get the info on what the output current capability at the other voltages, but i do know that if you wire the head for split 120/240v single phase output, the Kw capacity is about 1/3 of the rated output.

    Where oh where might the TM be? (Applied Companies GETT Generator and ECU)

    An Applied Companies unit...that's the one that i've been looking to get. I've looked also at the genhead of that unit. If your genhead is the Hanco/Southwest type, i got a hold of one of the techs at the company to confirm that the genhead can be rewire for basically any voltage output...from...

    Where oh where might the TM be? (Applied Companies GETT Generator and ECU)

    i Just looked through my HDT Drash HP-2C model pdf manual to find out what type of connectors you will need for the power output receptacles. Be prepared for sticker shock! Here's the NSN/part numbers for the power output receptacles on the genset: 5935-01-093-5199 5935-01-569-0794...

    Power out

    I had to drive through the storm system 2 days ago when it was making its way through Mississippi,Alabama, and Georgia. It was heavy at times, but when i got to the leading edge of it on the Ga/AL line, the winds was unreal. The section i drove through felt like i was driving in a tropical...

    Battery Apology

    I remember a place in my town that would get in scratch,dent,lost freight from an auction they went to. One day they had a pallet of 12v AGM batteries for sale...at $20 a piece. Can't remember the name of them, but they had about 500 cca. And were manufactured 6 months prior. Amazingly...

    Alternative AVR for MEP-803a

    After a lot of of head scratching and research, I've found a suitable replace for the stock AVR the 803a comes with. Here was the issue with mine when i got it...after i got it and got it to fire up, the voltage on the output terminals was on the low side. I did follow the TM to trace down...

    803 Bogs Down and dies at 85% Load

    It's possible that the overload relay is reading the output current wrong, or the load indicator is off. I'd try running the genset at 80% on the panel indicator and see if it starts to show the same symptom. And verify that it's indicating properly with a clamp-on meter on the output terminals...

    Generator suggestion

    If you need a larger genset than what the 803A can output, then I'd look at the DRASH gensets. They range from 20kw to about 50kw. The one's with the 4 cylinder Isuzu engine are almost always the 20kw one. And everyone I've looked into have 12 wire genheads. They're configured for 120/208v 3...

    Fram CH6PLfor 003a/002a only $.50 at TSC!!!

    Since i had my first vehicle, I've used mostly Fram filters. And in 21.5 years of using them, I've only had 1 oil filter ever go bad. That 1 bad filter had shipping damage on the casing.The guys doing the service on the truck didn't spot it. But they did when they cranked up the truck to check...

    Shipping costs

    That's not a bad price from Ga to Ma. I got a quote once from one of the shippers GL lists on their site from Groveport,OH to Tifton,GA for $680+/- for the 803A I was looking at. Being a truck driver by trade, i can tell you that most rates will be around $1.25/1.50 a mile for the 803A's...

    AcuTemp Refrigerator

    Man...that puts a Yeti cooler to shame. If i didn't have to pay in this year, I'd probably get one myself.

    MEP-804A single phase 120/240 conversion issue

    That's pretty expensive. I'm still looking into building my shop, but the local power company quoted a price of $500 for the 3 phase hookup to my lot next to the house. But still not sure what the monthly contract cost will be yet. But I've also looked into different options.There's a company...

    MEP-803A Starting kVa capacity

    I just picked up a Speedaire 2 stage 15hp air compressor of the GL website. I used my 803a to test to see if the motor on it was good. After getting the motor wired to 208v, i hit it with the 803a 3 phase output. The genset definitely didn't like that motor...but after about 5 seconds, the...
