    MEP 804B 805B Unbalanced Load

    Yes, my feed runs through my attic. As long as it is properly rated for the current and there is overcurrent protection rated for the wire at the generator side. You can run unbalanced, it reduces fuel efficiency, its best to have some load on the unused leg (couple of flood lights or a...

    6 micron or 2 micron fuel filter

    my school of thought is use a 6 micron as the lead filter and the 2 micron for the lag filter. tgis way the 2 micron only catches particles small enough to pass the 6 . better filtering with less chance of clogging the first 2 micron

    mep-005a hertz/frequency

    I have a 004a and completely automated it along with an ats. Since you need to go with an interlock kit you could still rig the generator to be a pushbutton start and self regulate the frequency. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    mep-005a hertz/frequency

    This happens, its due to the increased magnetic fields dragging the engine down. In an ideal world frequency (in the states) is 60.0 hz. Utility can fluctuate slightly. This set does not have an automatic throttle to adjust. Frequency mostly impacts motors, specifically rpm (it also screws with...

    MEP 804B 805B Unbalanced Load

    Which commonly happens when power has been out all day and then the generator is started, at that point it falls under load management.

    MEP 804B 805B Unbalanced Load

    The air handler is vague because it depends on the heat kit installed. The installer is supposed to mark one. Dont forget, Inrush is a thing.

    MEP 804B 805B Unbalanced Load

    Balanced, not so much (other than efficiency) no load on 1 leg, can cause damage over time. A few heaters or lamps can make a difference. Sometimes people use the third leg for a work shop. For your loads you would need to take amp readings and inrush is a thing. Another thing to keep in mind...

    MEP-004a Generator runs but shuts down no fuel pumps run

    Try testing it with the diode selection on your meter. As for a replacement virtually any bridge rectifier will do. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    Mep-802a - amp meter not working.

    Easy check. Meter battery voltage when the engine is not running and again when its running. Voltage should be a but higher when running. That will verify the alternator is working Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    New Potential Owners - Generator Model Numbers ARE Important!

    Generally yes that is correct. Anything with a motor cant be used. Some things that use line frequency for a clock signal will also not work correctly. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    Any electricians out there?? 120/240 Circuits Question

    Not bad. Little hint for future reference, If you need an LB (or LL/LR) and arent sure which to order. hold the fitting like a pistol LL for left and LR for right. For your install a LL might have been easier.
