    Forklift. Charger

    looks like its made for 208, 240, and 480. best bet here it to set it for 208

    That being said most times three phase industrial equipment are looking for a wye source

    Mep-003a Sitting A Long Time

    In extreme cases Ive used compressed air through the output to convince the plunger to come out. Right after my ears stopped ringing and i was able to dig the plunger out of the sheetrock, I was able to get the pump working again.

    Mep-003a Sitting A Long Time

    Stupid and simple, Check strainer and filter plumbing. I have a set that needed an IP and the death was caused by the water strainer being plummbed backwards. and cart way before the horse, Theres a wiring change to check, Specifically a mod to prevent flash current from destroying the...

    Mep-003a Sitting A Long Time

    We used to use it on beachside for parking lot anchor bolts. Sandy salty wet anchor bolts. Knockerloose and heat works wonders (and it smells good)

    mep-003a no output at lugs

    Never trust anyone. I worked on a piece of equipment that was locked out and verified by everyone ahead of me. 30 some odd people worked on this thing for 3 weeks before i got to it. when i checked the LOTO device was installed backwards. THE BREAKER WAS LOCKED ON. confirmed later that...

    mep-003a no output at lugs

    The head scratching lost time is the better of outcomes here. Imagine if the meter said it was off and then it was touched.

    mep-003a no output at lugs

    This is a prime example of why Live Dead Live is so important (test meter on known live source, test object, test on known source again). Personally i carry a Fluke PRV240 in my tool bag. just for such an occasion.

    mep-003a no output at lugs

    when I was an apprentice one of my old timer journeymen would lick 2 fingers and touch it. and he could tell you the voltage within 5 volts.

    mep-003a no output at lugs

    All 3 modes use the breaker, in this instance it puts a known voltage across all 3 poles, and has more reading options for the on set meter. After this is the fun and joy of reading them at breaker lineside or at the reconnection switch. either way its a tight space and hard to probe...

    mep-003a no output at lugs

    You likely are already on the right path. it sounds like you are in single phase 240 mode. If it were me I would switch to 3 phase mode and meter at the lugs with a known good meter. I had a bad breaker once tested in single 240 and got some really wonky readings, turned out I had a bad pile...

    MEP 002A entering periodic runaway condition

    100% good deal here. If it were me i would rebuild the pump (they are fairly easy). When ordering parts a wise man would also order a plunger guide, by your description of how its running it wouldnt surprise me if it was fractured. Another pro tip: Get a 12point 5/8 socket (youll need one...

    MEP 002A entering periodic runaway condition

    if you are getting fuel in the oil, the IP is the place to look. The big thing here is what pump is there. there are 2 flavors and one is repairable, the other when they fail make a great doorstop. since repair parts are pretty unobtainable for the doorstop, i cant tell you if seals are...

    New hoses and fittings for my 002a

    Something to remember here. These are -5 fittings. NOT a normally stocked size these days. The obscurity bakes them a bit spicier on the wallet.

    MEP 002A entering periodic runaway condition

    Key takeaways: it over reved and you could reduce throttle manually. this tells me that the linkage isnt binding at the IP (common issue). This leads me to 2 thoughts. Governor or IP. The ip can be knocked out of time and still run. It would run like crap and need more throttle to run...

    Hey now instead of compromising my beer budget and needing another hose i just bought another MEP

    Who can rebuild Mel-005 voltage regulators or is there a modern replacement available

    Can confirm does work. One issue i had though is the overall field resistance. the 004 and 005 have a tolerance of 2-4 ohms the new avr needs a minimum of 15. theres a resistor added to bring it up, but in my case it was just lower than rated and would roll back. just something to keep in...
