    NO NO NO .... SMEPP - Self Mobile Electric Power Plant or The new trend in the military is an acronym of acronyms, so MM 002A would work: Mobile Mobile Electric Power. Yeah, that's the ticket, it even has redundancy. We know the guberment loves that.

    Reconnection Rotary switch backwards?

    Wow, you are correct and that is strange :shrugs: I am not sure I agree with the "does not put out clean filtered power". It is not filtered, correct, but it is an analog generator not an inverter generator. The power this puts out is just like the power companies power. I have never worried...

    MEP-003 Rectifier Board Burn

    You'll need to check the wiring. Sounds like the CB is broken or by-passed. This is the Circuit Breaker on the engine control panel correct? Not the one down by the electrical outlet. Do a search on in this forum. IIRC, this is not an unusual problem. If there is not enough residual magnetism...

    Reconnection Rotary switch backwards?

    That is the correct measurement for 120/240 split single phase. Sounds like the switch handle has twisted. Might you have twisted it back when the switch was frozen? 120 - 208 3PH should read: L1-L3 = 208V L1-L2 = 208V L2-L3 = 208V L0-L1 = 120V L0-L2 = 120V L0-L3 = 120V

    MEP-003 Rectifier Board Burn

    TM 5-6115-584-12 Page 4-31 Section 4-28 at the bottom. That should help. It is mounted on the outside of the blower housing next to the IP.

    MEP-003 Rectifier Board Burn

    Did you down load the TM's from Speddemon's signature lines? They may not look like links but they are. The TM5-6115-585-34 has a better schematic of the electrical system. It is for the MEP-003a but they are the same schematics and it is easier to read than the MEP-002a scan. I am thinking you...

    MEP-002A & MEP-003A engine manual

    Almost correct. The MEP-002A is a DJE. The DJEM was a marine motor. (Water cooled cyclinders) The MEP-003A would have been a DJF but wasn't ever manufacturered for the civilian market. As noted the one in the manual was used on M88 and M992 vehicles as APU. Looks like 28VDC generator was...

    MEP003A opening main breaker at <75% load

    You may want to check the adjustment of R3.IIRC If R3 is not adjusted correctly, it will cause the circuit breaker to trip at the wrong levels. Section 9 in TM TM 5-6115-585-34

    MEP701a start up, Click, Click, Click

    Here is a good link. As mentioned, use the 12 Volt battery number and double for a 24V set up. (Or measure each 12V battery seperately.) http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_measure_state_of_charge I refer to this site when I need to be remembered. 8)

    How do you preserve your M101/103/105 covers?

    Do NOT let it touch the treads!!!!!! You won't be eating handle bars.... you'll be slidding on your butt everytime you go to take a turn. (Especially if there is ANY moisture on the road)

    Compression Testing on MEP 002A/003A

    It worked great. The copper seal just stayed in the port when I removed the glow plug. Worked well enough for me to know I had an "issue" with the #2 cylinder. NJ_ToolNut made the part for me. He used Hex stock vice the Round stock I put in the drawing.

    Paralleling two or more MEP 002A or 003A

    Dupe Thread: Sewerzuk already showed how to parallel the 002 and 003: Here I can't see the video due to firewall at work. Pics and Videos are always good though. Just curious, if there are 3 ways to do it, why is there 4 parts? :rolleyes: And are you going to really show the "Wrong Way"? :razz:

    Mystery Filter Fitting Adapter MEP-805a

    There isn't any listed. 88-22734 is a sort-of part number. It is controlled by DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE PROJECT MANAGER-MOBILE ELECTRIC POWER. ( CAGE: 30554) The Engine is a John Deere 4039T. But, from the looks of the parts manual, the fitting in question (along with the bolt and washers) is a...
