Sure, should not be a problem.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Not sure of your intent, however I seem to recall reading somewhere on this site that you are not supposed to disconnect the batteries while the genset is running. I thought it had something to do with the voltage regulator not having a load on it. So if you were able to start a MEP-002a/003a without batteries and then disconnect the slave source that would be the same as disconnecting a battery. Am I right or confused about that?do you think the 1.5 will start an MEP oo3a even if the MEP 003a doesn't have any batteries?
1,500 watts ÷ 28 volts = 53 amps. Even with some overload capacity of the 28v generator, it seems a bit low to be able to start an 003A. If it's been done and I'm wrong, I'll take it all back.![]()
Check my signature file.i was of the opinion there is an aftermarket VR for the DC that can be used that allows the set to be run without batteries. again i may be wrong
Yes, I have two units that I use. Great little generator (28v). Won't start a stone dead truck but will charge up low batteries in about 10 minutes. Starts a 002/003 with no problem. Haven't tried a generator without batteries. A buddy of mine has several in stock, PM if interested.I have been thinking about getting a military surplus 28 volt generators as a battery charger and as a jump starter for my 24 volt stuff. has anyone ever used one?
