Tagged: Paralleling MEP803 units
Looking for fuel consumption specs for the MEP 002 @ 1/4 load 1/2 load and full rated load
Thanks
Larry
The MEP002A is about 1/2 gallon per hour and the MEP003A is about 1 gallon per hour. 1/4, 1/2 or full load is not a huge difference. The unit must run at 1800 rpm to generate 60H electricity. So you will burn a bit less at low load, but not much.
Has anyone addressed the paralleling two or three 10kW gensets. Unlike the larger units they were not necessarily intended for parallel operation, but if this has already been done, I would rather not reinvent the wheel. If this hasn’t been done, I will. Thanks, /r
Oops…the above was my first post, and I obviously stuck it in the wrong place.
