- Cummins MEP-1030 5kw AMMPS in parallel operation.
3 x AMMPS 5kw in parallel load share without switchbox.
The generator needs to support working in parallel. The control cable needs to be connected to each unit operating in parallel. The 3rd generation AMMPS generators 5kw-60kw have built in parallel support. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I'm a GEN mech in the Army. I haven't had the opportunity to properly train on those. I might need to contact you for advice from time to time... 😂
Love the ammps they have the same Interface module as the BPU. I'm a electrical power production technician 3E072 in the Air Force.
Do you guts repair the DCS? In the Army we just swapped them out. Also have you notice any issues with "wetstacking"?
@@haroldbottom3474 just swap them out like you do
@@heavychevy2289 Cool thanks...I worked with some power pro guys out of Ramstein AB in Germany, while TDY in Riga, Latvia.
Lucky man to find them units hope you got them for cheap. Been looking for one but everyone wants way to much for them.
GREAT VIDEO ! thank you for posting this. Have you done any modifications since then ?
No need to.
where did you obtain these units?
Hi there
Could you please tell me mate is this is a pure sine wave generator or not?
This is amazing a piece of kit.
Regarding the ouput outlet, do these gens require a special plug of some sort or can you use standard civilian electrical plugs or connectors?
You would need the correct wire size for the load being used.
Interesting. I didn't realize that it was possible to phase lock three separate generators like this. With all the variations of engine speeds I would think the phase would be all over the place. And then of course there is the question of why you is three small generators when you can use one large one? The extra space and complexity of this setup doesn't make any sense.
Daybreak,
Can we talk about all the pieces and parts I will need to make this work with two MEP-1050 15kw generators?
Thanks,
Dave
You would need the communications cable between the units. They have the built in smarts to synchronize then.
Would love to get a hold of you. I have some questions.
Are all the pig tails connected together to the loadbanck?
They are connected to a small 200 amp service panel with breakers on each line, then connected to the load bank. The military would connect them to a smart load switchbox.
@@DaybreakAngus We do not used switch for the smaller AMMPS. We do for the 15k and above.
Is the one on the right a 1031 it looks bigger
No, they are all MEP-1030 5kw 60Hz units
In which order those the pig tail go in the panel
into a 100amp service panel, with each generator attached to each 30amp dual pole breaker
Hey I need one Do you have any for sale Thank you
go to govplanet and bid on one. Until last week you can get one for about 3 grand. Now everyone in Texas is trying to get one...
Yes A hot commodity now.
@@josephpuchel6497 I'm currently the highest bidder on three, but the auction doesn't kick off until 3 March.
Hey So those are the newest models ? A guy in my area is selling a 10 kw low hour Mep Quite model $6400 load tested. Yes it’s still a lot of money
@@josephpuchel6497 Yes the AMMPS are the latest in the Army's inventory. If you don't absolutely need the generator right now, I would wait. That price is kinda steep. What part of the country do you live?
This is terrific, thanks for posting. Question: why are you getting switch box warnings? Is the DCS expecting that connection and it's not getting it? Thanks!
I do not have a "Military switch box" which communicates to, and has contactors in it. It is not needed, but would be nice to have.
