    mep004 reads 0 phase to phase 480 phase to ground

    It should be showing some kind of voltage with those readings. The rotating diodes inside the head are known to fail. Easy access below the gauge cluster. Have to take the panel off the back of the head to gain access

    Yes sir that is it.

    mep004 reads 0 phase to phase 480 phase to ground

    From the 24v breaker to the monetary push button. From the push button to the resistor, after the resistor, the diode, then from the diode to F1 buss bar. I did put the exact same diode going from f+ on the vr to the buss bar F1 to make sure it wouldnt back feed and hurt the VR. F2 is connected...

    mep004 reads 0 phase to phase 480 phase to ground

    I could never get the jc- Looks like you have it correct. Did you check the glass fuse on the VR?

    mep004 reads 0 phase to phase 480 phase to ground

    Can you take a picture of your VR setup? Also make sure the glass fuse is still good on the VR. Very 1st thing to do is make sure while your pressing the push button your getting voltage to F1 on the buss bar. If its getting DC power, it will produce some sort of voltage as long as the gen head...

    mep004 reads 0 phase to phase 480 phase to ground

    Push button-resistor-diode fianlly to F1 on the 2 screw buss bar. Then i put the same exact diode from F+ on the VR to F1 on the same bus bar

    mep004 reads 0 phase to phase 480 phase to ground

    Years ago I wrote up my experience with converting a 005a with a advr-054. For the excitor I used a simple push button mounted next to the 24v breaker. I took 24v off the breaker over to the push button and then to F+. I put a 56ohm resistor (Dale CW-10) that is used in the 002-003a exciter...
