In this video, I thoroughly test a military surplus MEP004a 4 cylinder NA diesel generator. I put it through a series of load tests, including overload to about 150% of its rated capacity. I also run it single phase while powering my shop, and place some large starting surges on it. During those surges, I watch the waveform on an oscilloscope. I am checking for large spikes, fluctuations, or odd shapes which could indicate a damaged voltage regulator, loose contacts, or bad generator windings.

  • Seems pretty quiet and doesn't require so many Christmas lights. ; ) You must have been trained on these. You know your way around them pretty well.

  • Very nice work.
