I just piddle although I did build my house. I discovered GovLiq in 2002 and IRS auctions a little later. Before that I bought a 20" planer in 1993 and a 36" bandsaw around 1995. I saw how to make 3 phase with a static and then rotary converter. I discovered MEP generators around 2003 after...

Ray70, I was running a 3 hp shaper which is only a little more load than just starting the motor itself. It did that fine. It would not, however, start a 5 hp shaper with again very little starting load over a bare motor. The main breaker kicks off right away. I read the sticky thread about...

This morning, I again started the 002A. It must be a morning person because the Hz meter is displaying correctly like a champ. I'm going to exercise it for about an hour running a 3 hp shaper. If I am not running electronics but just 3 phase woodworking equipment, will it hurt anything...

I started the 002A generator this morning just to see how it does with it cool. It starts better than my 003A but the starter lockout that I thought was adjusted right yesterday started acting up again. However, I glanced at the Hz meter and it was working! It was showing around 63 so my tach...

I will try to do as Keith J suggested. The gauge seems to work as I tapped off the Hz meter on my 003A although it only read about 40 while the other gauge (003A) said 60, maybe because of resistance in the wires. I had borrowed a device that reads rotation in rpm and stuck it to the nut on...

Thanks for the replies. I will test out the theories and report back. The semi-junk 002A I have is mostly missing some control items such as the main switch. I took it to Delk's and had the generator man look at it. He thought that it would take $300-400 to get running. I can at least rob...

I bought a MEP-002A generator last week from Ft Bragg. I bought it without actually touching it, just from the pictures which is a bit of a chance. I have a MEP-003A and -804 and have a semi-junk -002A so I am somewhat familiar. I did like from the pictures that it had a new fuel tank and...
