    Adding breakers to a MEP-802A?

    It looks like the engine RPM is moving around a little, thus the change isn Hz and voltage. Everything else looks to be good. For now I have update the inverter to just use the generator as dirty input and not attempt to sync with it. Thus when the generator is running loads will be limited...

    Adding breakers to a MEP-802A?

    Thanks for the pointers, it looks like I have a bit of homework to work on this weekend. Once I get everything suggested done, I will report back. Thanks again!

    Adding breakers to a MEP-802A?

    Most of the items in the manual where taken care of with the new VR as that included a new potentiometer. I think that leaves me to the frequency adjustment cable that could be the issue. Looking at the -24 in figure 2-24 around item #1 my cable had two nuts that when I received the generator...

    Adding breakers to a MEP-802A?

    The hertz moves a little, it's hard to tell if the RPM is changing. I have a laser rpm meter that I may be able to use to check to see if its stable or not. I will take a look at the -24 today. Thanks again!

    Adding breakers to a MEP-802A?

    Installed Kurts VR in my 802a, the hardest part was removing the sticky back from the cable labels. That didn't fix my issue, I do now have my old VR as a spare (I will order a spare "MEP-802A & MEP-803A Frequency Trip Switch - S14" from Kurt if I ever get this working as I see that as being...

    Adding breakers to a MEP-802A?

    I will open the parts canon and ping Kurt to get one ordered I was very impressed with the WIFI/2 wire start controller card I received from him the other week. Hopefully it will be the fix.

    I am seeing it move via a few places. Plugging a kill a watt meter into the accessory port. The 2 wire/WIFI remote start: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep-802-803-831-generator-control-parameter-monitor-by-wifi-demo.179509/ My Inverter is also showing the input voltage jumping around.

    Adding breakers to a MEP-802A?

    Ordering breakers from MA shipped to Maine seems to have a sub 24 hour turn around. I was able to get the 30 AMP Square D QOU230 breaker that is "QOU circuit breakers are UL Listed and CSA Certified" https://www.se.com/us/en/product/QOU230/mini-circuit-breaker-qou-30a-2-pole-120-240vac-10ka/...

    Adding breakers to a MEP-802A?

    I will see if it arrives with UL Marking and or paperwork. If it doesn't I just found a 30 amp UL rated one: https://www.altestore.com/store/enclosures-electrical-safety/overcurrent-devices-fuses-breakers/din-rail-circuit-breakers/square-d-qou230-30a-2-pole-circuit-breaker-p9411/ I may...

    Adding breakers to a MEP-802A?

    It's going into a 50 amp breaker into an Outback Radian 8048a (the kit where it was pre-wired). The thought with the breaker is just to keep code as it's job is to protect the wire between the 802A and the Inverter. Every comercial generator has a breaker to protect the wires, thus if...

    Adding breakers to a MEP-802A?

    I have ordered a DIN mount breaker for my MEP-802A. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08H1Q3V4Y I am running #10 THHN2 with the 75C rating it's rated at 35 amps (40 amps at 90C). I am going to make the internal connection from the MEP-802A to the breaker with #6 that I already have on hand. I...
