    you need to download 'Amphenol /Matrix MS/Standard MIL-DTL-5015 Cylindrical Connectors' from there you can use the info from your connector to find the mate. be prepared for it to be VERY expensive.

    10 kw generator mep 803a

    Yes everything you say is right, but just putting a load on the circuit to reduce the voltage is not the best solution, MOVs are not used for things like this, and how do we really know that a 3 amp load is not going to eventually cause some issues? Also you now have a variable load on the...

    10 kw generator mep 803a

    90 PIV is nothing and I don't see how it could ever do any harm. Installing a MOV is just a waste of time and could even be a hazard. A MOV only reacts to spikes of milli second duration, not at all to steady state voltages, so the best thing it would do is over heat and catch fire. What year is...

    I came to the conclusion that 88-20032 is the entire control box assy with all it's contents

    10 kw generator mep 803a

    ok, so this is what i find on a 2006 unit. If I disable the fuel so it will not start and crank it, the quad connection to the reg has 0 volts. If I allow it to start the voltage never goes above 64 VAC while the field goes to 40+ volts while starting, but not while cranking, it is after the...

    Z, I think the newest of my herd is a 2009 and I checked the Q1-Q2 voltage and it never went over 94 vac while cranking. I was just holding probes on the terminals, but will make some pigtails to check the voltages more accurately later. There are some labels, rand written in some other gens so...

    the part number on mine is 19580 but on the board is 19583 so this may indicate a redesign. what other issue do they have?

    10 kw generator mep 803a

    upon reflection and some research i conclude the MOV will do nothing to help. if the starter is engaged and under 900 rpm, the flash circuit is on. prolonged cranking is the problem, so the fix is to repair whatever is making it hard to start. all of mine start in just a few seconds so the only...

    So since the regulator board is easy to access, the diodes should be replaced with ones with a higher PIV and a MOV installed for future reliability.
