    re-wiring my MEP-004a for different voltages, including single phase

    steelypip and Isaac-1 nailed it. Hertz on the output is a function of how fast the generator head is spinning and it will be the same on all legs of the same genset (unless someone did something REALLY weird with the windings when they made the generator head). Converting from 3 phase to single...

    re-wiring my MEP-004a for different voltages, including single phase

    1. Get a meter that will display volts and hertz ($30 at Lowes will get you a Kill-A-Watt which does this, $60 will get you something like my Ideal 61-340) and check the accuracy of the gauges. They do fail as do their transducers. 2. Put a load on it that can handle high/low voltages (a 1500...

    re-wiring my MEP-004a for different voltages, including single phase

    The cynic in me says that it may have been done to fool someone who didn't know better, but I am sure that there could be a valid reason to mislabel such a generator, I just cant think of one... Aaron Z

    re-wiring my MEP-004a for different voltages, including single phase

    Sounds interesting. Am I reading correctly that this would be possible to do to a 002 or 003 as well? Aaron Z
