    Looking good. You really do have a fun project. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    impacts on gear pullers (well gear pullers in general) have their own hazard. I had a coworker loose an eye to one using an impact. Next time try this, Load the gear puller until tight, apply heat to the item being pulled and tap with a hammer. when the gear puller loosens tighten and...

    Yes. But in a synchronization application buss can be grid or other live source. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    Gen connection is what the generator is connected to for sync input Buss connection is the field buss sync reference Rotation is the rotation direction These settings are all for 3 phase paralleling(basically a syncroscope), an option you wont be using. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    In your application set and forget. The reason these sets have a voltage regulator out and easy is for paralleling. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    Out of curiosity, why 2 oil pressure gauges? Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    R remains constant so volt and amp have to change inversely. In operation they will ramp up and down as it works. Its its base operating voltage you need to watch. I only point it out because I had a similar situation on a 005. It looked like it would work but it kept blowing fuses. Sent...

    Watt (volt*amp) so if its pushing a higher voltage and a low amperage it can push your required wattage. Now if its a lower voltage the amperage has to go up to keep the same wattage. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    Another curveball to consider is the rated amperage output of the avr. Since thats what is actually doing the work and that is what the avr fuses are rated in. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    Keep in mind its not just the minimum field resistance you need to worry about. Think of the avr as a power supply, and figure out what the wattage output needs to be. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    Advice needed - new guy with MEP004A

    Maybe I am looking in the wrong spot, but the -34 TM I wouldnt, its too close to the bottom end rating. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place, But the -34 TM page 1-9 calls out the Exciter rating resistance as 2.19 ohms.

    I used one on a 005 and one (not your exact model but similar field ratings) didnt have the balls to keep the reaction going. I ended up using 3 of them and isolating them with rectifiers. This was more of a need to replace so lets try project.

    Advice needed - new guy with MEP004A

    On startup (flash) it borrows 24 vdc from battery to get the reaction going. after it takes the high voltage ac off the head and maintains the field. heres the tricky part, its an inverse reaction. as the AC goes up the DC field needs to go down (otherwise the AC will keep increasing) when...

    Will that work? spec sheet calls for a minimum of 15 ohms. 004 field winding is 2-4 ohms.

    The factory units teed the start switch held because it bypasses the low oil pressure shutdown. Since your unit is far from factory you can monitor what you would like. You really need to monitor oil pressure while running, on startup you should disengage the starter above the crank rpm, If...

    Advice needed - new guy with MEP004A

    I believe that the speed switch only enables the field flash. Once a set rpm is reached the starter is disabled and the flash is enabled, the start switch needs to be held in the start position to flash. So the answer would be as long as the operator is holding the switch. I have seen them take...

    Follow F1 and F2 from the main generator head. It should go to some form of regulator and there should be something going back to battery (through some form of switch) as modified as your set is its gonna be alot of reverse engineering. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    I cheated and used my boroscope, it has a detachable screen. Also remember that the IP moves at half the speed of the flywheel. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk
