When I last ran my MEP-002 last year before my injector pump quit, the voltage output was fine then it quit having an output. Without moving any of the switches I tried it again twice with no output then my injector pump stuck. I finally got around to building an injector pump and got it running again but still no power output. With the Reconnection Rotary Switch set to 120-240 single phase and the Ammeter-Voltmeter transfer switch set to L3-L0 single phase, I get absolutely no power output.
However, it will put out 208 Volts, and 238 volts with the Ammeter-Voltage transfer switch in any of the 3 phase positions. . I can adjust the voltage and it jumps to 280 with nothing in between. I can put the Reconnection Switch in the 208-3 Phase position with the Ammeter-Voltage transfer switch in the L3-L0 single phase position and I get a reading on the voltmeter, adjustable up to 280 volts (approximately, can't remember for sure). I took a DVOM and checked between the lugs LO to L1 and get 120 Volts. Between lugs L0 and L3 I get 120 Volts. Between L1 and L3 I get 240 volts. Between L0 and L2 I get 5 volts or less.
This is a bit confusing. Since having trouble with the Reconnection switch getting stuck a couple of years ago I never turn or fool with it. When it stuck a couple years back I had to loosen the mounting screws and the Reconnection switch would then turn. I had no wires loose at all. It seems that the Reconnection Switch is working backwards. Any ideas?
Looking through the -34, I found a paragraph in a couple of different places that says the following:
"WARNING! When selecting position 120, 1 PH unit is in two wire configuration. A situation can/may exist in allowing a double fault to occur. To eliminate this possibility the Reconnection Switch will be rewired by using an AWG #4 wire jumper between terminals #L0 and #6 of section g." ??????
