Steves Diesel Generators

Rescued from a dark, cold corner of a tow yard… the old girl needed some love. She will serve as mobile power and back-up power for an old cattle ranch.

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.

Previously used on a farm as mains back up, I bought this to power my welders and other workshop tools but it came to me with no tank, exhaust or sockets so has become something of a project in itself (I didn’t really need any more, I have plenty as it is!) For me mate Davy up in Scootland!

A look at my 5.5 KW marine diesel generator and how it works for a emergency backup power source for your home. I mainly run on solar and wind but every now and then you have to have a generator to compensate for poor wheather conditions.
