Check this thread. I repaired the VR on one of mine. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?117579-MEP-005A-high-voltage-problem

Who said anything about powering a house? Why make assumptions? Some may have a real need. Others may do the conversion because they want to. Which is wrong? With that said, I think I will go for a drive in my M934 hauling exactly nothing getting 7 MPG. :)

In theory, yes. MEP-006 has a 12 wire gen head. But you might not be able to take schematic wire numbers from the MEP-004/5 conversion and expect them to be the same on the MEP-006. They may be, or not. But the functions/principles should be the same. The best course of action would be to...

You could possibly use the sync lamps that are on the units already. However, the sync lamps are wired to L1 and L2. So I think you would need to move X15F from T2 of the voltage reconnect board to T3 on both units and X22S from B2 to C2 on the load contactor on both units. Because L2 is now...

Unfortunately, some of these things were wired up where it works, but it may not be wired to the schematic. Especially if it had been "worked on" before. Some of the sensor wires will work in the 3 phase config no matter what leg they are attached to. Take the accessory outlet, for...

And that would be correct! One leg of 208 wye is 120v single phase. Leg to leg is 208v single phase. Run into a 3 phase breaker panel and that how one would use it. However, you would have to pay close attention to how the loads are distributed across all three legs with a generator...

I have no idea what you would get! How about nice single phase conversion whether you are wrong or right? Because that is what I got. Color me completely happy! As explained before, I have a machine shop that has mostly three phase equipment. But no three phase power at the location! So I...

I have run my MEP-005 into a 30Kw load bank for 8 hours and more on single phase. I do have the resistors on the CT though. Sewerzuk, your conversion process and videos taught me a lot! And now I have a generators that are extremely flexible and reliable. (My residential grade Generac...

Hmm... I doubt that the transducer is causing the under frequency. It just isn't feeding back to anything other than the gauge. So it is most likely the speed switch. It might be that your idle is so low with the speed knob all of the way in that it trips the under freq. The idle on mine is...

The frequency is set by RPM. If one leg is @ 60Hz, then the others should be too. My bet is your Hz transducer is going pear shaped. Here is how to check: Open the operator panel with the genny producing power. Be careful! Check the terminals on the left side of the frequency transducer...

Hz is a function of RPM. Unless your genset fires up and the RPM goes sky high, then the gauge is wrong. As it turns out, the frequency gauge is the problem child of these gensets. Or rather the transducer driving it. Of the three MEP-005s I have had, I had to replace two of the frequency...

I think sewerzuk came out with an update on the wiring that was not in the original video. I believe that is where that came from, anyway. However, it does work. It worked with the original wiring scheme too, but I think the output was a bit less and sewerzuk found the better solution. How...

Here is a little procedure that I wrote up while converting my 005s. I wanted my 005s to be able to be quickly switched between single and three phase. Single phase for emergency home power and 3 phase to operate my M934 van body with. I use a toggle switch and 1 jumper to convert from three...

I saw this too. On my particular MEP005, when I close the air intake doors after running it, the doors will force the throttle closed. So every time I start the genset I have to open the air intake doors, adjust the throttle to about halfway (just guessing at the eventual speed), and start the...

sewerzuk, I picked up 3 mobile (M200A) MEP-005As at auction and I'm in the process of getting them all running. 2 are up and running at this point. I did the single phase mod to one of them and I'm tickled pink! Thanks for the videos and the posts! I really liked your videos on prepping...
