    MEP-002A Low / High Hz frequency question

    Only the 10 kW came in a 400 Hz version which have a 20 pole field. If you are loading the generator with a motor, especially a universal motor (drill, saw etc), the low power factor can cause a digital frequency meter to go batty. Since you are new here, be very careful with using the...

    MEP-002A Low / High Hz frequency question

    Running an 002/003A at frequency lower than 55 Hz can overload the output transistor on the voltage regulator. Frequency is set by engine RPM. It is impossible to get 400 Hz from a 002A unless you were to replace the field with a 20 pole unit and run it at 2400 RPM. It has a 4 pole field...
