Lincoln Electric IM604-B manual Connection of Ranger 8 to Premises Wiring

15 15

1.Install a double pole, double throw switch between the power company meter and the premises disconnect.

Switch rating must be the same or greater than the customer’s premises disconnect and service overcurrent protection.

2.Take necessary steps to assure load is limited to the capacity of the Ranger 8 by installing a 35 amp 230V double pole circuit breaker. Maximum rated load for the 230V auxiliary is 35 amperes. Loading above 35 amperes will reduce output voltage

below the allowable -10% of rated voltage which may damage appliances or other motor driven equipment.

3.Install a 50 amp 115/230V plug (NEMA type 14-50) to the Double Pole Circuit Breaker using No. 8,

4 conductor cable of the desired length. (The

50 amp 115/230V plug is available in the optional plug kit.)

4.Plug this cable into the 50 amp 115/230V receptacle on the Ranger 8 case front.
