    Aqua Chem WTA-060 Water purification trailer

    Hi Guyfang, I found a few numbers but a quick Google search didn't turn up any real specifications for me. I have NSN 6130-01-346-4736 PN 13229E1176 Power supply made by Cecom Lr Center Also found SP043000MGC62MODF0001 , if that means anything?

    Aqua Chem WTA-060 Water purification trailer

    Can't believe I didn't try that... Sometimes I overlook the obvious I guess.. Found the TM, interesting stuff! It doesn't say much about that PS other than how to remove it, but I'll keep searching. Thank you...

    Aqua Chem WTA-060 Water purification trailer

    I've got another question that I'm wondering if Guyfang or anyone could help with. While stripping out this water purification system, I removed a 120V A/C to 24 VDC ( actually 26.4V ) power supply that ran 2 small diesel fueled space heaters mounted to the wall inside the container. It looks...

    002A IP problem?

    You're totally welcome... As for parts, my experience is that going direct to AMBAC is the best way. There is a woman in the parts dept. who is very helpful. Rather than buying each individual part you need, they have some "kits" that include several parts ( such as the delivery valve spacer...

    002A IP problem?

    Hello LITD, if you need any info I have a bunch of the AMBAC files in pdf format, parts schematics, instructions and such for that model 50 pump. Like Guyfang said, its really not hard to remove and rebuild them. If your not pumping any fuel out of the IP and its gummed up, there's a good chance...

    MEP-803a Crankcase full of fuel...

    Hello everyone, I'm just finishing up a similar problem with fuel metering pumps and thought I'd share my findings. Got this 803A from GP, they said it wouldn't start and made it sound like the reason was that the fuel hoses, filter housings and fuel solenoid were missing. When it arrived I...

    Aqua Chem WTA-060 Water purification trailer

    Thank you. I sent a message to the WATEC Water I found in WA asking if they have any interest or information on anyone who might be interested in the unit or its components.

    Aqua Chem WTA-060 Water purification trailer

    Thanks for the info Guyfang! looks like the NSN# is 4610-01-219-8707 I found a place called WATEC Water in WA, not sure if that is the same place, but I'll give them a try if I can't find anything here on the east coast.

    Aqua Chem WTA-060 Water purification trailer

    Hello Everyone, A friend and I recently picked up an Aqua Chem water purification unit from GP. Basically it was bought for the 806B generator mounted on it, and for the storage container the water system is mounted in. I was wondering if anyone here would have any suggestions on places to...

    My latest MEP-003A acquisition

    Thought I'd share a little story ( with a happy ending for a change ) about my recent GL purchase of another MEP-003A. I previously had a total of 6 MEP generators, got them all fixed up and tested and sold them all, so I was starting to have Green Machine withdrawl symptoms and needed to buy...

    Fort Drum GL Chaos

    So back a couple weeks ago I saw this thread, just as I was about to make a last minute bid on the next round of 802A's at Ft.Drum. It made me a bit apprehensive so I kept my bids low and of course... I lost. Today I go on to bid on the latest batch and I notice that every single generator...

    MEP803a Overload Fault Troubleshooting

    Now comes the fun part... step up the load in stages like Guyfang and others suggested. Go up a couple KW at a time and let it run till the smoke clears out, then step it up some more. You should be able to get it up to 16K or more indefinitely using resistive loads.

    MEP803a Overload Fault Troubleshooting

    Use the cleaner you have and spray it in from the sides of the switch at each wire connection. That seems to be the best place to get the cleaner into the switch. Work the knob back and forth rapidly while you're spraying in the cleaner. Mine was also showing erratic readings on the Load meter...

    New to me PU798A (Mep-803a on a LTT-TQG high mobility)

    MEP803a Overload Fault Troubleshooting

    Fixed it! Turns out I had a dirty AC Reconnection switch. 1/2 can of contact cleaner and dozens or clicks back and forth and now it's working correctly. Loaded it up in stage like Guyfang suggests and now it runs at 125% all day long with no smoke at all. Next step is to advertise some of my...

    MEP803a Overload Fault Troubleshooting

    Hi Haoleb, I'm very interested to follow your troubleshooting as I've got an 803A doing the same thing. I can run it at about 80% load for a few minutes then it trips the overload. So far I've unsoldered and tested the burden resistors and made some attempt at cleaning the AM/VM switch. My...

    New to me PU798A (Mep-803a on a LTT-TQG high mobility)

    So I got a chance to work on the 803A a little today. Seems like my % load meter not working was caused by poor connections in the AM/VM switch. Seems to be working again now. As for the overload tripping too soon, I unsoldered the wires from the burden resistors and they all tested good. Next...

    Parting out a MEP-002

    Hi Bob, is the control box there? If so does it have a voltage regulator, frequency transducer or any gages? Thanks...

    New to me PU798A (Mep-803a on a LTT-TQG high mobility)

    Thank you Guyfang. I'll hopefully be able to work on it this weekend. I did a little bit of testing on it last night and found that if I increase the load slowly using purely resistive loads the overload will trip at about 70%. If I apply a large load all at once it throws the short circuit...
