AUXILIARY POWER OPERATION
Start the engine and set the IDLER control switch to the desired operating mode. Full power is available regardless of the welding control settings, if no welding current is being drawn.
The auxiliary power of the Commander consists of two 20Δ

120VAC operation.
Δ15 Amps for codes below 10500.
The auxiliary power capacity is 10,000 watts of 60 Hz, single phase power. The auxiliary power capacity rat- ing in watts is equivalent to
NOTE: The 120/240V receptacle has two 120V out- puts of different phases and cannot be paralleled.
The auxiliary power receptacles should only be used with three wire grounded type plugs or approved dou- ble insulated tools with two wire plugs.
The current rating of any plug used with the system must be at least equal to the current capacity of the associated receptacle.
SIMULTANEOUS WELDING AND AUXIL- IARY POWER LOADS
It must be noted that the above auxiliary power ratings are with no welding load. Simultaneous welding and power loads are specified in table B.4. The permissi- ble currents shown assume that current is being drawn from either the 120 VAC or 240 VAC supply (not both at the same time).
