    Mep005 no power

    Hey guys. Just a quick update. I found out my problem with my generator. I had two bad diodes in my diode ring and the back of the generator head. I ended up replacing all six diodes with higher voltage higher amperage rated diodes. It works great! And I replaced the voltage regulator/standing...

    Mep-005a trying to find power diodes

    I finally got my generator up and running. I replaced all six diodes with the higher voltage and amperage rating. Everything works great and the voltage output is great also. Thank you very much for everybody's help. Especially you pete! But a big sincere thank you to everybody! This is a...

    Mep-005a trying to find power diodes

    One on the left side and one on the right side of the ring. So one was positive and one was negative. I'm going to replace all six with hopefully a better quality higher rating diode. Already on order. But good call thanks for looking out!

    Mep-005a trying to find power diodes

    Thank you for this great information. I very much appreciate it. The guy I spoke to about the voltage regulator knows a lot about generators and said go with the higher voltage ones. The original ones were rated I think 30 amp 400 volt. So 6 or 1200 volts is great. Thank you very much bud!

    Mep-005a trying to find power diodes

    I only had 50 volts going to my generator to ground so I open up the back of my generator head and found two bad power diodes for the static excitation. They look like they have quarter inch threaded shafts. But I believe they are quarter inch fine thread studs. They are not the pressing kind...

    Automatic / Manual Fieldflash with aftermarket AVR on MEP004A / 005A

    It is saying this site cannot be reached. Any ideas? Very curious. Thank you

    Thank you Pete. I do have continuity between A5-15 and the ground terminal stud on the special relay box. and I also check continuity between the frame the special relay box and the static exciter. the grounds are all connected and have continuity to each other... I do have continuity between...

    Pete. You are right. I got voltage out of my c-pin. But my d-pin does not have continuity to ground either. I took out the solid state static Exciter from oshkosh. I put in a standard a11 static Exciter. Now my d-pin does have 24 volts when I am starting it. Still producing no voltage...

    The D pin on the j9 connector is supposed to have 24 volts. That's what guy Fang told me. And Oshkosh drawings/ schematics. I'm not happy with oshkosh. But I trust guyfang. Where does the c-pin go after it leaves the exciter? A 5-1 or a 5-3?

    Hi Peapvp Thank you for your help and I'm really trying to figure this out. Does the power for that D-pin at j9 come from the A5-2 card or does the 24 volt DC on The D-pin come from the static Exciter? Thank you very much, Gordy

    Mep005 no power

    Actually there's turmeric ginger So if I have power on Terminal a5-13 my speed switch should be good correct? Or could my S9 switch be messed up? It shouldn't be my A5 flash card, should it? The D terminal from a11 goes to a5-2. Does the static Exciter power the D terminal in j9 conn. My...

    Mep005 no power

    Hi guy fang. Hope it all is well. I checked my a5-13 terminal and I have 24 volts DC when starting. That means I have a good S9 switch I believe. Then I checked a5-2 and that does not have 24 volts when I go to start it. That means my A5 is not being turned on. Correct? Of course that means my D...

    Mep005 no power

    Yeah that was directly from Oshkosh. Crazy! And their tech support is an older guy that says it should work. Do you know what relay style it should be? From the schematic? I will definitely contact Oshkosh first thing Monday morning. I think generator guy retired. But I've also had two...

    Mep005 no power

    That is how that special relay box came. I thought it was out also but you never know what the military. My d-pin definitely does not have any power. I have a hand drawn schematic for my new static Exciter / voltage regulator. Should the S9 switch have 24 volts going to the special relay box for...

    Mep005 no power

    30554 ASSY 72-2232 MFG 64327 I'm pretty sure it's the correct special really box. The static Exciter and voltage regulator are brand new and solid state and shouldn't have a problem. I should be getting a signal through my d-pin J 9 connector when starting correct? Because I'm not getting any...

    Mep005 no power

    What should my next step be? Is there any way to check the S9 switch? Like I said the S9 switch and the special relay box are brand new. Along with the new solid state static Exciter and voltage regulator. It sounds like something's not right between my speed switch and my D wire on j9...

    I currently tested my special relay box again. I had zero DC volts the a5-2 and I had 24 volts at a5-13 while starting and holding the starting switch.

    Guy Fang. Sorry it's been awhile and I'm hoping you can still help me. I have an mep-005a that's still not producing power. I have a brand new S9 switch in. And I've tried multiple others. I have a brand new special relay box. And I also got the solid state static Exciter replacement from...
