    MEP-802a AC disengages when I release the switch

    I read the OT every morning. And yes they do have Obit's. Go to the Wed. paper, look at page two. The article about the two stupid people in Coburg who called the cops because their Coke was no good.

    MEP-802a AC disengages when I release the switch

    Its really a sad affair. I am retired, ( :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:) The guy helping me, is 62. I am 68. We climb all over the roof, sitting up the holders for the PE cell panels, running the wires and bolting the PE panels down. When we need muscle, my kids come over...

    MEP-802a AC disengages when I release the switch

    So far, I have not fallen off the roof. Been a few moments that I was feeling like free fall, but it was all my burned out brain. Oh, and one time the hand rail came unhooked on the third level of scaffolding. That took 2-3 years off my life.

    None. And that may be the problem. Got to work out on a roof, 45 degree pitch, tile, and maybe it will be wet in the morning. Need to have all my stuff in one pile before doing that.

    MEP-802a AC disengages when I release the switch

    We used to have a gen set, a 52300. It was a 45KW, 400 hertz set. They were older then dirt. Great sets. But the Army was getting rid of them. They had lots of problems, but it was always penny anti stuff. I only saw one engine destroy itself. And it had max help from a guy who simply went over...

    MEP-802a AC disengages when I release the switch

    I would think that between 10-15 thousand 5 & 10 KW gen sets were procured. Most go to units and get used. Some, go into storage, for use later on. Some go into storage in a Supply activity, waiting for someone to drop a requisition. Some go into storage, like on board ships, waiting for a...

    Can you blame a unit? The MEL lets them get something new, instead of continuing to run and support something that is on its way out, and repair parts are no longer being procured.

    Gen sets are not to be idled. They should never run with less the 60 hertz on the meter. Or do you mean its been run, without supplying a load. Some how that rings wrong. Someone turned the diode around. By accident or on purpose.

    Thats what I saw when I looked at the pictures in post #6. Thats why post #5 is always the first step. Check the wiring against the schematic. And when ever the S7 will not bypass a fault, CHECK THE WIRES. Clean looking set!

    Have you ever seen this set work right? Or is it new to you? If its new, look for the diode on S5, like Kurt wrote, but ALSO, check to see if the S5 is wired correctly.
