    I wonder if we can reverse engineer the the 805 with a locking cable, and delete the speed control board.

    Well, when we really needed her, she let the smoke out. One of our neighboring towns had a direct hit from a tornado, was sending this one to keep some coolers at a cheese factory cold, did a prestart ran just fine, called the guy said come get it moved it 100yards, he gets here, I go thru the...

    Was not addressed, I ordered one from ebay, I believe it had 4 wires, i dont remember so it must not have been a big deal.

    left one has the broken wire, it wouldnt do anything, no lights, no nothing. right one, keeps throwing over/under voltage fault light. checked voltage before and after motor control box, and i have correct voltage, 120v on all 3 legs. My opinion is, fix the broken wire and then start control...

    I am not putting any gauges on until I can at least make the fans run.

    boatman, you are about as much fun as a bag of anvils, hahaha, well I was pretty sure that it still wasnt going to work even after 6 hours on the jenny, but the poor guy can wish.

    I did see that, but not powered for a continuous 6 hours, probably 4 hours total in 3 days, I am supposed to be off tomorrow, will start jenny in the morning and let her run. Wouldnt it be nice if it were just the capacitors had fully discharged and nothing was wrong. thanks for the upload, I...

    input volts is right on, so i will have to dig deeper. Anyone know if there is a bypass for the motor controller to see if the motors work?

    I never powered up before with 3 phase, but I was out of phase, i had them hooked up L1L3L2, when i change to 1-2-3 it fixed the light issues. now to work on the heat/ac units, one doesnt power up, the other show over/under voltage. I am not a pure'ist, so I may just toss the green units and go...

    #2 MEP 805B oh the joys

    Sooooo, we go out to play today with a jenny. Hook up to my M373 trailer to see what works and what doesnt work, I can get single ph items to work like the lights, plugs, fans..... none of the 3 ph stuff works, the smarter than I am box says 'incorrect phase' light is on. The power light is...

    Well, its only been on the load tester at 33Kw load for over an hour, and all is well. I guess all my cussing and discussing paid off, it runs just as it is designed. Water temp never exceeded 170*F, HZ maintained 60.0 except under max shock load of 33kw, then it only drooped to 59.7HZ for a...

    Had a bit of delay of game today, had to call some coyotes. Turned every skrew all the way up, nothing happened. So I go to the IP and loosed the stop skrew, had like 65.5HZ, and then skrewed down the trim and the HZ came down and the actuator light on the box came on. All of my rhostats...

    Got #2 skidded on a trailer today. Tried guyfang's procedure but could only get her to get unstable by turning trim down, it would never go past 60 hz but it would go down. I am thinking i am limited on going up any more by the set skrews on the ip. I will set up the load tester tomorrow and...

    Guyfang, actuator looks the same as the IP, doesnt appear to be changed. No faults on CIM, army book shows it as 5-43. I have been a bit distracted today, been working on getting a 'trailer' to put #2 on so i can move it to get load tested. I started off with a 2 axle 400hz load tester and...

    Speed trim was about 70, adjusted it up, and no dice, still had 52 hz. Stepped over to the IP, it was WOT against the adj. skrew, so I let the skrew out a bit, and the HZ came up. Adjusted the speed trim down and the motor went to surging just a bit, so I adjusted it back to 70 and made all my...

    I think the engine is running slow, hz reads 52. All if the plugs and sockets looked good, had to get a magnifer out to see in the sockets.

    Fault reset clears the over voltage, then you just adj volts down and stays gone. The switch in the box is on 60/400 hz, i dont have a meter fancy enough to measure hertz but i do have an electrician friend that does have one. I thought the motor sounded like it was running slow, the throttle...
