    MEP-803a Falls on its face under light load

    I built a load bank today and tested the generator on it. I can run one dryer element and it pulls 22-25A on each leg. I had one that would pull 27A when I switched it on and it bogged the set down. It seems like when it bogs, the RPM just keeps going down until maybe 1000RPM and it just sits...

    MEP-803a Falls on its face under light load

    I did the maintenance items well before I hooked the set up to the house. I have an aux pump adapted to run as the primary pump, so that could be causing fuel flow issues. I will hook up my 12v fuel pump externally and see if that makes a difference - after I get some dryer elements.

I was able to load the generator up to 56 total amps and it maintained over 60Hz, so I think the gen set is doing its job. The % power gauge...

    MEP-803a Falls on its face under light load

    With the house at idle, ac running, pool pump on, fridge, a few lights and a window unit, I'm seeing right about 25A per leg on the load terminals in the transfer switch. I run it at 240V, so that is 50A total draw. Startup is something that is going to be an issue. With everything off except...

    MEP-803a Falls on its face under light load

    Hi guys, I finally got my generator wiring finished to the house but I have a problem with the generator under load. Any larger power draw like the AC or water heater puts the generator flat on its face. It almost stalled out several times while I tried to jockey the load around. It runs the...
