AUXILIARY POWER OPERATION
WARNING
Be sure that any electrical equipment plugged into the generator AC power receptacles can withstand a ±10% voltage and a ±5% frequency variation. Some electronic devices cannot be powered by the WELDANPOWER 125. Refer to Table A.2,
ELECTRICAL DEVICE USE WITH THE WELDANPOWER 125, in the INSTALLATION section of this manual.
GENERAL INFORMATION
(For Codes 10158, 10160)
The WELDANPOWER 125 is rated at 4500 continuous watts (3500 watts CSA). It provides both 115 volt and 230 volt power. You can draw up to 20 amps (15 amps CSA) from either side of the 115 volt duplex receptacle. Up to 20 amps (15 amps CSA) can be drawn from the single 230 volt receptacle.
Electrical loads in watts are calculated by multiplying the voltage rating of the load by the number of amps it draws. (This information is given on the load device nameplate.) For example, a device rated 115 volts, 2 amps will need 230 watts of power (115 x 2 = 230).
(For Codes 11183, 11406)
The WELDANPOWER 125 is rated at 5500 surge watts or 4250 continuous watts. It provides both 120 volt and 240 volt power. You can draw up to 20 amps from either side of the 120 volt duplex receptacle, but not more than 35.4 amps from both sides at once. Up to 17.7 amps can be drawn from the single 240 volt receptacle.
Electrical loads in watts are calculated by multiplying the voltage rating of the load by the number of amps it draws. (This information is given on the load device nameplate.) For example, a device rated 120 volts, 2 amps will need 240 watts of power (120 x 2 = 240).
You can use Table B.3, AUXILIARY POWER APPLICATIONS, to determine the wattage requirements of the most common types of loads you can power with the WELDANPOWER 125. Be sure to read the notes at the bottom of the table.
TO USE THE WELDANPOWER 125 AS AN AUXILIARY POWER SUPPLY:
1.Start the gasoline engine. See ENGINE OPERATION in this section of the manual.
2.Set the current control dial on the output control panel to “MAX.” See Figure B.1 and B.1a.
(For Codes 10158, 10160)
3.Plug the load(s) into the appropriate 115 volt or 230 volt power receptacle.
(For Codes 11183, 11406)
3.Plug the load(s) into the appropriate 120 volt or 240 volt power receptacle.
NOTE: During welding, the maximum generator output for auxiliary loads is 100 watts.
(For Codes 10158, 10160)
NOTE: You can supply multiple loads as long as the total load does not exceed 4,500 watts). Be sure to start the largest loads first.
(For Codes 11183, 11406)
NOTE: You can supply multiple loads as long as the total load does not exceed 5,500 surge watts or 4000 continuous watts. Be sure to start the largest loads first.
