GENERATOR OPERATION
CAUTION
Be sure that any electrical equipment plugged into the generator’s AC power receptacles can with- stand a ±10% voltage and a ±5% frequency varia- tion. Some electronic devices cannot be powered by the
ELECTRICAL DEVICE USE WITH THE POWER- ARC 4000, in the INSTALLATION section of this manual.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The
Electrical loads in watts are calculated by multiplying the voltage rating of the load by the number of amps it draws. (This information is given on the load device nameplate.) For example, a device rated 115 volts, 2 amps will need 230 watts of power (115 x 2 = 230).
You can use Table B.3, GENERATOR POWER APPLI- CATIONS, to determine the wattage requirements of the most common types of loads you can power with the
TO USE THE GENERATOR AS AN
AUXILIARY POWER SUPPLY:
1.Start the gasoline engine. See ENGINE OPERA- TION in this section of the manual.
2.Set the current control dial on the output control panel to “GENERATOR.” See Figure B.1.
3.Plug the load(s) into the appropriate 120 volt or 240 volt power receptacle.
NOTE: During welding, the maximum generator out- put for auxiliary loads is 100 watts.
NOTE: You can supply multiple loads as long as the total load does not exceed 4,000 watts. Be sure to start the largest loads first.
