    MEP-831a Troubleshooting

    What? Do I need come up and install them too! :D I did a quick search but didn't find them. I was going to at least get the specs so you could pick up something locally.

    Good question. I'll have to look around some. Even if it isn't a solution can be had.

    Ok. Ignore my last thoughts then. It's more likely a bad trip unit.

    I should have asked how it tripped.. Was it the overload or the GFI? You have to reset the overload manually via the little button on the top. Dampness won't have as much affect on over current. Only on GFI trips. Those reset on the front buttons.

    What is wrong with the GFI for the outlet?

    Just snug the lug down on your VOM leads in there so you don't have to hold them then flip the switch.

    Thats great news. When you flip the output switch to "Close" does the power contactor close but opens when you let go of the switch?

    MEP802 - Got a shaker.

    I talked to one of my friends I grew up with. He recently retired from the Army. He indicated that all the 802s he dealt with shook a lot. Maybe the one that doesn't shake much is the outlier. ;)

    MEP802 - Got a shaker.

    Luckily this one doesn't seem to vibrate enough to shake the meters apart. Is there a simple way to check that the right mounts were installed? Rotating the generator rotor was one of the things I was considering to try. Thanks for mentioning it.

    MEP802 - Got a shaker.

    I picked up a couple of 802s from auction last week. These were Tier2 resets with less than 20hrs on the clocks. Very clean. Both had remaned engines in them. One had a poorly rebuilt DC alternator (fixed) and the other one seemed to have no problems, except... This thing shakes a LOT. And by...

    Alternator for MEP802

    The rectifier ring arrived today. After soldering it in and putting the alternator back together it charges. Dont be afraid to replace some parts instead of buying a whole alternator. Or send it to me to fix. ;) Oh, the positive ring includes the diode trio as I found out today when I opened...
