    MEP-112a to MEP-003a conversion 400Hz to 60Hz

    Thanks for the wiring info Guyfang. I finally got the generator back together. But, it doesn't put out any power. The good news is it started up and ran fine. I tried holding the start switch to flash the field, but still registered no voltage out. I started going through the troubleshooting...

    MEP-112a to MEP-003a conversion 400Hz to 60Hz

    I painted the generator end and had to drill out two bolts and re-thread the holes for the end cover. Next I put back the supporting frame then the output box. Leave all the bolts for the framework loose until you get the output box connected to the frame, it was a tight fit to get all the holes...

I was not sure how would be a good way to measure that, so I tried a photo tachometer on the generator fins (removed...

    MEP-112a to MEP-003a conversion 400Hz to 60Hz

    I found a great deal on a MEP-112a generator last summer. The seller included a 60Hz generator head from a MEP-003a generator for converting it over. I researched it and discovered that I would also need a different control panel and output box as well. I have a non-running mep-002a and found...
