Hello,
I have an MEP-015a generator that has always ran fine and puts out plenty of power. However, it has always put out slightly low voltage, even if the voltage adjusting knob is at full adjustment. The voltage is about 115.5 at no load. I went through the military TM and checked out each measurement and it seems everything checks out for the most part. The variable resistor is perfect, and the rest of the measurements were ok. The one measurement that is supposed to be 20V is only about 15.5 volt though, which is the same amount that the output voltage is low.
Any thoughts on how to check/repair this further? The voltage does adjust based on the variable resistor being rotated (I can lower and raise it, just not enough).
Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Will
