WELDER OPERATION

WELDER OUTPUT

Maximum Open Circuit Voltage at 3700 RPM is 80 Volts RMS.

Duty Cycle is the percentage of time the load is being applied in a 10 minute period. For example, a 60% duty cycle represents 6 minutes of load and 4 minutes of no load in a 10 minute period. Duty Cycle for the RANGER® 3 PHASE is 100%.

AUXILIARY POWER

120/240 VOLT DUAL VOLTAGE RECEPTACLE

The 120/240 volt receptacle can supply up to 40 amps of 240 volt power to a two wire circuit, up to 40 amps of 120 volts power from each side of a three wire circuit (up to 80 amps total). Do not connect the 120 volt circuits in parallel. Current sensing for the automatic idle feature is only in one leg of the three wire circuit as shown in the following column.

CAUTION

Do not connect any plugs that connect to the power receptacles in parallel.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Start the engine and set the “IDLER” control switch to the “High Idle” mode. Set the “CONTROL” to 10. Voltage is now correct at the receptacles for auxiliary power. This must be done before a tripped GFCI receptacle can be reset properly. See the MAINTE- NANCE section for more detailed information on testing and resetting the GFCI receptacle.

The RANGER 3 PHASE can provide both three phase and single phase power, up to 11,500 watts of 480 volts AC, three phase 60Hz power for peak use, and up to 10,500 watts of 480 volts AC, three phase 60Hz power for continuous use, up to 10,500 watts of 120/240 volts AC, single phase 60Hz power for peak use, and up to 9,500 watts of 120/240 volt AC, single phase 60Hz power for continuous use. The front of the machine includes four receptacles for connecting the AC power plugs; one 20 amp 480 volt 3 phase NEMA receptacle, one 50 amp 120/240 volt NEMA 14-50R receptacle and two 20 amp 120 volt NEMA 5- 20R receptacles. Output voltage is within +/-10% at all loads up to rated capacity. Do not use 3 phase power and single phase power simultaneously. All auxiliary power is protected by cuircuit breakers.

120 V GFCI DUPLEX RECEPTACLES

A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) electrical receptacle is a device to protect against electric shock should a piece of defective equipment connected to it develop a ground fault. If this situation should occur, the GFCI will trip, removing voltage from the output of the receptacle. If a GFCI receptacle is tripped see the MAINTENANCE section for detailed information on testing and resetting it. A GFCI receptacle should be properly tested at least once every month.

The 120V auxiliary power receptacles should only be used with three wire grounded type plugs or approved double insulated tools with two wire plugs.

The current rating of any plug used with the system must be at least equal to the current load through the associated receptacle.

480 Volt 3 Phase Receptacle with Ground

The 480 volt receptacle can supply 12.6 amps of 3 phase power, or up to 15 amps of single phase power. A NEMA plug L16-20P is required to use this receptacle. The ground (GND) connection is connect- ed to the machine frame, it is NOT the neutral of the three phase connection, and should under no circum- stances be connected to the neutral of any 3 phase load. Do not connect 480V 3 phase to single phase premises wiring.
