Plugs and Hand Held Equipment

INSTALLATION

PREMISES WIRING

For further protection against electric shock, any electrical equipment connected to the generator receptacles must use a three-blade, grounded type plug or an Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) approved double insulated tool with a two blade plug.

WARNING

Never operate this machine with damaged or defective cords. All electrical equipment must be in safe operating condition.

AUXILIARY POWER RECEPTACLES

The control panel of the Weldanpower 125 features two auxiliary power receptacles:

(For Codes 10158, 10160)

•A 20 amp (15 amp CSA), 115 volt duplex (double outlet) receptacle.

•A 20 amp (15 amp CSA), 230 volt single outlet receptacle.

See Figure A.1

Through these receptacles the machine can supply up to 4,500 watts (3,500 watts CSA) of single-phase 60 Hertz AC power. The machine output voltages meet UL standards and fall within ± 10% of the rated voltage.

(For Codes 11183, 11406)

•A 20 amp,120 volt duplex (double outlet) receptacle.

The Weldanpower 125 three-wire, grounded neutral generator allows it to be connected to premises wiring.

WARNING

Only a licensed, certified, trained electrician should install the machine to a premises or residential electrical system. Be certain that:

•The premises is isolated and no back feeding into the utility system can occur. Certain state and local laws require the premises to be isolated before the generator is linked to the premises. Check your state and local requirements.

•A double pole, double throw transfer switch in conjunction with the properly rated double throw circuit breaker is connected between the generator power and the utility meter.

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

The Weldanpower 125 does not have a combined 120/240 volt receptacle and cannot be connected to a premises as described in other Lincoln literature.

Remember that the Weldanpower 125 is intended only for backup, intermittent use. It cannot withstand long-term use without proper maintenance. See the MAINTENANCE section of this manual for more information.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

Auxiliary power is protected by circuit breakers. When the machine is operated in high temperature environments, the breakers may tend to trip at lower loads than normally.

•A 20 amp, 240 volt single outlet receptacle. See Figure A.1a

Through these receptacles the machine can supply up to 5,500 watts surge or 4250 watts continuous of single-phase 60 Hertz AC power. The machine output voltages meet UL standards and fall within ± 10% of the rated voltage.

CAUTION

NEVER BYPASS THE CIRCUIT BREAKERS.

WITHOUT OVERLOAD PROTECTION, THE UNIT

COULD OVERHEAT AND/OR CAUSE DAMAGE TO

THE EQUIPMENT BEING USED.
