    MEP-004a 005a over voltage after single phase conversion

    I am trying to make some retirement income using learned skills. I have 2 units, both on trailers. Up here in northern Minnesota the power lines are long and are overhead. Lots of power outages. Resorts up here may have bookings a year ahead of time. So - Jim to the rescue. If a storm shuts off...

    MEP-004a 005a over voltage after single phase conversion

    Sweet victory at last.... Your info was spot on. One lead from the J13 plug rang out to XA16B which Sewerzuk had instructed to move to T3 on the reconnect block. This works. The other lead rang out to X8HH16B which the instructions said to move to T11. This is incorrect for my configuration. I...

    MEP-004a 005a over voltage after single phase conversion

    Wow, that sounds like the exact info that I needed. TB6 8 and 9. The info you just gave me fits perfectly with my wiring diagram for the AVR/SE. I can find the leads from the VR quite easily now. Once I have them Identified I should just need to bring them to terminals 1 and 3 on the TB6. I...

    MEP-004a 005a over voltage after single phase conversion

    OK, I have partial success. I booted the conversion back to 3 phase. A guy need to clean up the reconnection board. The terminal numbers are progressive on every other row. I had some stuff hooked up to #5. I corrected it and it ran in 3 phase beautifully. Nothing was blown up. Now onto the...

    MEP-004a 005a over voltage after single phase conversion

    OK, I got busy this morning and tried to find which terminals my VR was actually connected to. To do that I just connected to the tb6 side of the main contactor and went right to the VR connections. after disconnecting the VR, I found my AC inputs with continuity to all 3 legs. ???? OK maybe I...

    MEP-004a 005a over voltage after single phase conversion

    I am using the unmodified harness, of course with the single phase reconnects. I am assuming that TB6 is the reconnection board. I might go about this in a backwards manner. I can use my meter to ring out T1 and T3 and see if i have connections to J13. I will also look at T2 and see if it shows...

    MEP-004a 005a over voltage after single phase conversion

    This is better but I believe it shows the wiring that was once inside the VR cabinet. T-1 is the 8 segment connecter that was wired to all the components that I have removed when I put in the new VR. My new VR got rid of most of the things shown

    MEP-004a 005a over voltage after single phase conversion

    I had not but I just did. From what I see I cannot determine the circuit that is feeding pins M and L on j13. I was hoping for a visual wiring diagram. Where do they originate? Are there other pins that are connected to T1 and T3?

    MEP-004a 005a over voltage after single phase conversion

    Hello. I'm a new poster so please be gentle. I will start with a brief history: I was able to get a nice deal on a MEP-005a and trailer that was missing the voltage regulator. I installed a MTS ADVR-054 voltage regulator and a SS500 static exciter. It worked great on three phase 208/120. I then...
