    Most were done by contractors. Not military.

    MEP-802 and 803 Main generator tip.

    The strange thing is, that we started putting them in in about 2007? 2008? And it was mandatory.

    If it fits in the hole, should be good.

    Your link will not open. I will direct you to TB 11-6115-741-24. This document is the first, last and only true guidense to the Quad Circuit MWO. Go to chapter 5. It clearly states, that the correct fuse needed for this MWO, has the part number FNQ-R-3, Fuse, 3A, 600V, TIME DELAY. A time...

    you are probably not going to get much help in this thread. I would suggest you start a thread called MEP-806 Quad fuse blows. Or something like that. That way people who have worked on the 806A will read about your problem. Most folks in this thread have the MEP-802 or 803. Very different gen set.

    Yes, its supposed to be different. Its NOT a relay. Its a switch. If you look just in front of it. on the metal floor, you will see, S14 printed there. Thats what switch it is. If you look in front of the relays, you will see what there are also. from left to right, K12, K15, K16, K19 and K20

    If the rest of your generator is as clean as the last two pictures, you got a mighty fine generator set!

    MEP-802 and 803 Main generator tip.

    Using your house as a load bank is never good. Go to the junkyard and find an old stove or three. A dryer or two. Anything with heater elements in it. I will admit here, for training purposes only, that I once hooked up cables wrong and had phase on neutral. And the results sound like what...

    MEP-802 and 803 Main generator tip.

    I didn't say it was installed. I said "Then the "improved" A1 could be procured". Big difference. As far as I know, it was never "procured". But the only way to tell, would be to check the spec's in the FEDLOG, or maybe compare and OLD volt reg, to a new one. The part number "SHOULD" be...

    MEP-802 and 803 Main generator tip.

    Perfect explanation KLOPPK! The big problem in the beginning was that NOTHING in the manuals suggested to the repair personnel what the CAUSE of the problem was. So when people found the Quad winding burnt out, they simply put in a new stator, or even a main AC. Started it up, and had the same...

    That is a text book classic example of how to do this mod, and looks very much like the first ones I saw in 2009 in germany, done at Germersheim. Perfect!

    MEP-802 and 803 Main generator tip.

    VERY GOOD!! Gentlemen, simply outstanding! The sad part of the Volt regulator story is the the military has known for the last 12 years what was the problem, and how to fix it. I saw a memo in 2004 explaining the how, what and why. It was stated that the problem would be corrected at a "later...

    Jimbo, The first one I saw was a RESET out of Letterkenny, in 2009, I think. Well done, none of this in line fuse bit. A sheet metal bracket, in the back middle of the control cube.

    MEP-802 and 803 Main generator tip.

    I may have one. Some people, the Army included, took some sheet metal, bent it 90 degrees and mounted it in the back of the control panel. Ran the wires to the TB and that was it. I will see if I have shot. I tossed out tons of stuff when I quit contracting, but still have a laptop from the day.

    MEP-802 and 803 Main generator tip.

    The MEP-802 and MEP-803, A1 volt regulators sometimes go bad. When they do, the Stator is often damaged. The troubleshooting diagram tells you to first test the stator. If you find that the stator is defective, naturally, you change it. So after installing the stator, you fire it up and presto...
