    Mep003a blowing resistor on bridge rectifier

    Issue resolved ! Changing out cvt1 seems to have done the trick. I can't thank Keith J and Speddmon enough for all their help! I would have had no idea of what to check. As a footnote, milbatteries.com has the adapter trays for converting 6tl's to the optima 34 for $14 each and will sell to...

    Mep003a blowing resistor on bridge rectifier

    I received the cvt and linear reactor from Delks today and am hoping to do the install tomorrow. All I can find about the linear reactor in the tm says if there is physical damage, it should be replaced. The original one from my gen has a small crack in the top of the housing. The one I received...

    Mep003a blowing resistor on bridge rectifier

    I ordered a new cvt1 transformer and linear reactor from Delk's today. I'll let everyone know how it turns out. Thanks for all the input and great advice

    Mep003a blowing resistor on bridge rectifier

    I did some more checking today. The diodes on the bridge all test good. The M ohm readings occur when not using the diode test function. The meter voltage is too low that way. CT1 checks good. CVT1 has problems. All H connections test good but not the X connections. X1-X2 reads 39.1 ohms ...

    Mep003a blowing resistor on bridge rectifier

    Thanks so much for the help! I will check the bridge board for problems again in the morning. Using the diode check function on my meter, I checked each individually before and got good checks. I was not really happy about the results I obtained according to table 6-6 so I will do it again...

    Mep003a blowing resistor on bridge rectifier

    Thanks for the help Speddmon. I removed the blower housing to get access to the dc regulator. I unhooked the three wires and even pulled the fuse. Still on start up, the voltage pegs the meter at 300 when it was adjusted to 220. I attached the resistor on the bridge with alligator clips so I...

    Mep003a blowing resistor on bridge rectifier

    Thanks for the insight Keith. I checked the voltage as you said. There was no voltage at connection 8 until I started to crank. When I released the start switch, voltage went back to zero as expected. This is where it gets weird. If I leave my meter connected and start the unit, I get battery...

    Mep003a blowing resistor on bridge rectifier

    Hi all! im new to the site and am very impressed with the knowledge of the members. I'm having a problem with the resistor on the bridge assembly blowing on start up. I have been careful not to hold the start switch too long and the problem persists. Now for a little background. There is no...
