Lincoln Electric IM530-C manual Welding Capability, Limitations

OPERATION

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Weldanpower 125 is designed for commercial use welder / generator applications. As a welder it provides 125 amps of DC constant current for welding with DC stick electrodes. A single dial lets you select a full range of welding output from 50 to 125 amps.

(For Codes 10158, 10160)

As a generator it can supply up to 4500 continuous watts of 115 / 230 volt, single-phase AC power. The machine is portable.

A Briggs & Stratton 9 HP Vanguard air cooled, OHV gasoline engine powers the welder / generator. It has an engine warranty of 2 years and a lifetime warranty on the engine ignition system.

(For Codes 11183, 11406)

As a generator it can supply up to 5500 surge watts or 4250 continuous watts of 120 / 240 volt, single-phase AC power. The machine is portable.

RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS

Welder

The Weldanpower 125 provides excellent constant current DC welding output for stick (SMAW) welding.

Generator

The Weldanpower 125 gives smooth AC generator output for continuous auxiliary power usage within the engine manufacturer’s required maintenance recommendations.

OPERATIONAL FEATURES AND CONTROLS

The Weldanpower 125 was designed for simplicity. Therefore, it has very few operating controls. A single dial on the control panel lets you select either welder or generator use. For welding, the same dial selects continuous current output over the machine’s 50 to 125 amp range.

The gasoline engine controls include a recoil starter, choke and stop switch. See ENGINE OPERATION in the OPERATION section of this manual for details about starting, running, stopping,and breaking in the gasoline engine.

WELDING CAPABILITY

The Weldanpower 125 is rated 125 amps, 25 VDC at 30% duty cycle on a ten-minute basis. This means that you can load the welder to 125 amps for three minutes out of every ten-minute period. The machine is capable of higher duty cycles at lower output currents. For example, you can load the welder to 100 amps for six minutes out of ten for a 60% duty cycle.

The current is continuously variable from 50 to 125 amps DC. The Weldanpower 125 can, therefore, weld with all 3/32 and most 1/8 inch diameter Lincoln DC electrodes.

LIMITATIONS

•The Weldanpower 125 is not recommended for any processes besides those that are normally performed using stick welding (SMAW) procedures.

•The Weldanpower 125 is not recommended for pipe thawing.

•During welding, generator power is limited to 100 watts, and output voltages can drop from 120 to 80 volts and 240 to 160 volts. Therefore, DO NOT OPERATE ANY SENSITIVE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT WHILE YOU ARE WELDING.
