WIRE FEED (CONSTANT VOLTAGE) WELDING

Stick and Wire models only. Connect a wire feeder to the Commander 400 (see the Accessories section) and set the welder controls according to the instruc- tions in “Controls and Settings” in this section of the manual.

The Stick and Wire model of the Commander 400, with its CV tap, permits it to be used with a broad range of flux cored wire (inner shield and Outer shield) elec- trodes and solid wires for MIG (GMAW).

For any electrodes, the procedures should be kept within the rating of this machine. For additional elec- trode information, see Lincoln publications N-675, GS- 100 and GS-210.

AUXILIARY POWER

WARNING

Be sure that any electrical equipment plugged into the generator AC power receptacles can withstand a ±10% voltage and a ±3% frequency variation.

The Commander 400 can produce 10,000 watts of 60 Hz, single-phase auxiliary power. (The rating in watts is equivalent to volt-amperes at unity power factor.) The output voltage is within ±10% at all loads up to the rated capacity.

The following receptacles are provided:

Two 15 amp-120VAC duplex FGCI receptacles (5-15R)

One 50 amp-120/240VAC receptacle (14-50R)

The 50 amp receptacle has a maximum permissible output of 44 amps. However, it can be split to power two separate, single-phase 120VAC branch circuits each capable of 44 amps output.

NOTE: The two 120VAC outlets of the 120/240VAC receptacle cannot be paralleled. They are on two dif- ferent phases.

The auxiliary power receptacles should be used with only three-wire, grounded type plugs or approved dou- ble-insulated tools with two-wire plugs. The current rat- ing of any plug used with the system must be at least equal to the current-carrying capacity of the associated receptacle. An optional power plug kit is available. See the Accessories section.

SIMULTANEOUS WELDING AND AUXIL- IARY POWER LOADS

The auxiliary power ratings above are with no welding load. Simultaneous welding and power loads are spec- ified in Table B.4. The permissible currents shown assume that current is being drawn from either the 120 VAC or 240 VAC supply (not both at the same time).
