GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The POWER-ARC 4000 is a generator/ welder designed for home use and other non-commercial applications. As a generator it can supply up to 4,000 continuous watts (or 4,400 surge watts) of 120/240 volt, single-phase AC power. As a welder it provides 125 amps of AC constant current for weld- ing with AC stick electrodes. A single dial provides continuous adjustment of welding output. The machine is lightweight, portable, and can be lifted by two people.
