GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Commander 300 is a diesel engine-driven welding power source. The machine uses a brush type alter- nating current generator for DC multi-purpose welding and for 120/240 VAC auxiliary standby power. The welding control system uses state of the art Chopper Technology.

The generator has a single sealed bearing for mainte- nance-free service. The rotor is a copper wound design with two slip rings and brushes. The stator is wound entirely with heavy gauge copper wire and insu- lated with NEMA class F insulation material. The sta- tor is then impregnated with three layers of high quali- ty varnish. After the stator is assembled using tie bars, the entire assembly is covered with an environmental- ly protective coating. These measures insure trouble- free operation in the harshest environments.

The fuel tank is made from high density polyethylene and holds 25 gallons (94.6 liters) of diesel fuel. This will provide enough fuel to run for 18 hours at full load.

The Deutz F3L-1011 F engine is equipped with a stan- dard, heavy duty, combination fuel filter/water separa- tor element.

RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS

WELDER

The Commander 300 (Stick model) provides excellent constant current DC welding output for stick (SMAW) welding. The Commander 300 (Stick & Wire model) also provides excellent constant voltage DC welding output for MIG (GMAW) and Innershield (FCAW) welding.

GENERATOR

The Commander 300 provides smooth 120/240 VAC output for auxiliary power and emergency standby power.

DESIGN FEATURES

K1585-2 Commander 300 Deluxe Model Features

FOR WELDING:

•Excellent DC multi-purpose welding for stick, MIG, TIG, cored wire and arc gouging applications.

•30 to 300 amps output in five slope controlled ranges for out-of position and pipe electrodes, one constant current output range for general purpose welding, and one constant voltage range for MIG wire and cored wire welding.

•100% duty cycle at 300 amps output and 60 % duty cycle at 375 amps output.

•Dual 3-digit output meters are provided (optional on K1585-1) for presetting the weld amperage or volt- age and displaying the actual amperage and voltage during welding. The meters use superbrite LEDs for improved readability in full sunlight.

•Standard remote control capability with 14-pin and 6- pin connectors for easy connection of Lincoln remote control accessories.

•An internal “Solid State” contactor allows for the selection of “hot” or “cold” output terminals with a toggle switch on the control panel.

•”Arc Control” potentiometer in Wire and Stick modes for precise adjustment of arc characteristics.

•Advanced circuitry to prevent pop-outs in the five slope modes.

FOR AUXILIARY POWER

•10,000 watts of 120/240 VAC, 60Hz auxiliary power.

•Power for tools, 120/240 VAC lights, electric pumps and for standby emergency power.

•Power to drive a 2 HP motor (provided it is started under no load).

•Two 15 amp 120 VAC duplex receptacles with GFCI protection for up to 30 amps of 120 VAC power.

•One 50 amp, 120/240 VAC dual voltage receptacle for up to 44 amps of 240 VAC and up to 44 amps per side to separate branch circuits (not in parallel) of 120 VAC single phase auxiliary power. Allows easy connection to premises wiring.

•Weld and provide AC auxiliary power at the same time (within machine total capacity).
