    MEP-803a not making full power/tripping overload

    Update on the unit, I have found that if I put the S6 switch in the 3 phase setting, making the gauges dead (I'm running 240 single phase), it will not trip the overload, the R12 burden resistor is not energized when the gauges are off like that, and that seems to be where the issue is. Burden...

    MEP-803a not making full power/tripping overload

    I did check all of those and everything is in the right place, and the CT loops are all correct also. I ended up going over every wire on the AC side and all is in the right spot. And this one has the older or original style switches too, all matches the diagram

    MEP-803a not making full power/tripping overload

    Connections on S8 are correct, and good idea on the windings, checked those, all good there. Need to ohm connections on S8 still. I appreciate the offer, I'll keep that in mind. Couldn't get the S6 cleaned up, so it has another one in it for now, no change. You are right, I mixed it up, was...

    MEP-803a not making full power/tripping overload

    I haven't had time yet to disconnect and reconnect every wire, but I have gone over all the wire positions for the AC side and they are all in the right spot. Only thing I found different was the T1-T12 wires are in numerical order on the terminal block vs. the diagram having them in a different...

    MEP-803a not making full power/tripping overload

    I saw your post/comment about the wire being in the wrong spot on the S8 on your unit and checked all mine, S8 is good but need to get a little more thorough on checking the rest, will work on that today. Thank you. SS has been incredibly helpful in learning about these units. I have tried...

    MEP-803a not making full power/tripping overload

    Hi all, first time posting, but have been lurking and reading through the wealth of information on this site. I have worked on several of the 803 & 802s now, and have learned a lot. This particular unit will not make full power without tripping the overload. I'm using an old air handler with a...
