Schneider Inverters Thanks for confirming. I have a cheaper solution than 3 inverters. I will be trying it out next weekend. I have done these phase shifting in the past with good line conditioners and since EVERYTHING else but the inverter runs fine on the three phase power, this may be an...

Okay, time to update. It has certainly been a challenge. I have the solar panels, inverter and 48 volts (3 banks of 48volts ) batteries connected to Schnieder inverter. All works well but the inverter is too smart for the MEP006 Three Phase. It does not like the fact that the two hot lines...

Thanks for the input. I agree, it is something small and when I find it I will laugh and post it here. I will try the in the dark idea, although I sometimes feel I am already in the dark! Thanks for the help. I was focused on making it run at 100 percent and it is perfect now except for these...

Sorry, that is what I get for trying to reply on a smartphone! Thanks.

Mep006 Yes, I noticed that too, but I did find the correct TM.. The main breaker did not trip, just the breaker on the 110 outlet. I have been snowed in most of winter and will be working onthe gen this weekend. Hz meter works but rheostat type of adjuster has no effect on meter. I will look...

Thanks to everyone. I was offline due to work and some family issues with elder parent, but I wanted to thank everyone again for the help. Generator is running now with no issues except 110 outlets on the unit itself and an inoperable HZ adjustment. I will will work on those over the next few...

MEP006 bit much for house That is what I remembered. So we may run 3 phase to Pole Barn and then sub panel house off that. I will have to noodle that out this weekend. The house won't require much and the MEP006 was way overkill, but price was right. Yes, I had to fiddle with it to make it...

No issue. Will keep you up to date. Inverter was going to be XW+ 5548 Power System from Schneider Electric. I have not had time to dig,but at one point I remember it could handle 3 phase, just don't remember the cost or configuration. I am also concerned about additional battery storage...

Chris. Yes, it is a hybrid. It has wind and solar. We are using this generator for the large pole barn equipment and then the house. We are in the build phase and I still might do the 3 phase electric. Working on the solar inverter and if it will output 3 phase, we are golden. Thanks for the...

Chris: Thinking of leaving it 3 phase and then do a step down transformer/converter. I really hate to monkey with original gear although from what I have read ( very little) the mod is something that can be done and if I don't like it, later remove. What are your thoughts? I know price on the...

Okay, rebuilt the voltage regulator. System generates power as I said. Will hook up and see how it powers pole barn and future house. The surging appears to be bad fuel. I changed filters that were clogged, runs fine. Checked filters again and the primary is gunked again. I did flush out tank...

Quick update to all that have been helping. First off thank you, this board is great and I hope to be able to return the help! 1) Narrowed initial no power to bad voltage regulator. Talked to a number of you including William and it does appear that voltage regulator was part of the issue as...

Driller, thanks. I will look at the newer manuals. May give me a hint!

Okay, quick update. I now have the engine running completely. It appears 24 v DC is functioning. No panel activity on generator unless I hold the start stop run button on start. Then the HZ flickers and steadies at about 54 and the AC voltage steadies at about 200 volts. The 120 volt outlets...

Thanks Phil. Let me do a deeper dive this weekend and I will probably have to take you up on that. I appreciate the help.

Thanks! I am attempting to avoid the task of tracing wires/solder etc., but it is looking like that is what I will have to do. I appreciate the help.

I am new here but based on the details I have read, this is the place for me to ask for help. I have an MEP006 with an ALLIS Chalmers 6 cyl diesel. I purchased this at auction and when I got it home after I was "promised" it only needed battery and fuel, well I discovered some issues. I fixed...
