AUXILIARY POWER
The Ranger 300 can provide up to 12,000 watts of 120/240 volts AC, Single phase 60 HZ power for con- tinuous use. The front of the machine includes three receptacles for connecting AC power Plugs, one 50 amp 120/240 volt NEMA
Start the engine and set the "IDLER" control switch to the desired operating mode. Set the "CONTROL" to
10.Voltage is now correct at the receptacles for auxil- iary power.
Most single phase motors through 2.0 HP can be started if there is no load on the motor or other load connected to the machine. Since the full load current of a 2.0 HP motor is typically 18 to 20 Amps when
operated at 120 V or 9 to 11 Amps when operated at 240 V, it should be connected to the 120/240 dual voltage receptacle. The full load current of a 1.5 HP motor is typically 15 to 17 Amps when operated at 120 V or 7.5 to 8.5 Amps when operated at 240 V, it also should be connected to the 120/240 dual voltage receptacle. a 1.0 HP that draws less than 15 Amps at 120 V can be plugged into one of the 120 V duplex receptacles.
SIMULTANEOUS WELDING AND POWER LOADS
Auxiliary power ratings are with no welding load. Simultaneous welding and power loads are permitted by the following table. The permissible currents shown assume that current is being drawn from either the 120 volt or 240 volt supply (not both at the same time).
