CAUTION

Never bypass the circuit breakers. Without overload protection, the RANGER 300 D/DLX could overheat and/or cause damage to the equipment being used.

PREMISES WIRING

The RANGER 300 is suitable for temporary, standby, or emergency power using the engine manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule. With its three- wire grounded neutral generator, it can be permanent- ly installed as a standby power unit for 240 volt, three- wire, single phase 50 ampere service.

WARNING

Only a licensed, certified, trained electrician should install the machine to a premises or residential electri- cal system. Be certain that:

•The installation complies with the National Electrical Code and all other applicable electrical codes.

•The premises is isolated and no feedbacking into the utility system can occur. Certain state and local laws require the premises to be isolated before the generator is linked to the premises. Check your state and local requirements.

•A double pole, double throw transfer switch in con- junction with the properly rated double throw circuit breaker is connected between the generator power and the utility meter.

The following information and the connection diagram, Figure A.2, can be used as a guide by the electrician for most applications to premises wiring.

1.Install a double pole, double throw switch between the power company meter and the premises dis- connect. The switch rating must be the same as or greater than the premises disconnect and service overcurrent protection.

2.Take the necessary steps to assure that the load is limited to the capacity of the RANGER 300 by installing a 50 amp 240 volt double pole circuit breaker. Maximum rated load for the 240 volt aux- iliary is 50 amperes. Loading above 50 amperes will reduce output voltage below the allowable

– 10% of rated voltage. This may damage appli- ances or other motor-driven equipment.

3.Install a 50 amp 120/240 volt plug (NEMA type 14- 50) to a double pole circuit breaker using No. 8 or larger, 4 conductor cable of the desired length. (The 50 amp 120/240 volt plug is available in the optional power plug kit.)

4.Plug this cable into the 50 amp 120/240 volt receptacle on the RANGER 300 case front.

SVM148-B specifications

The Lincoln Electric SVM148-B is a state-of-the-art inverter-based power source designed for both professional welders and hobbyists. As a versatile machine, it excels in a variety of welding applications including MIG, TIG, and stick welding. This machine is particularly notable for its efficiency and portability, making it an ideal choice for on-site projects or workshops where space is limited.

One of the main features of the SVM148-B is its inverter technology. Unlike traditional transformer-based welders, inverter welders are typically lighter and more compact. This means that users can transport the machine more easily without sacrificing power or performance. The SVM148-B is capable of delivering a substantial amperage range, allowing for adjustments that suit various materials and thicknesses, from thin sheet metal to thicker plates.

The machine offers adjustable output levels, providing precise control over the welding process. This level of control is essential for achieving clean, strong welds and is especially useful when working with different materials. The SVM148-B is equipped with digital display features that provide real-time feedback on power settings and welding parameters, allowing welders to make quick adjustments as needed.

Another significant advantage of the SVM148-B is its duty cycle, which is designed to accommodate extended usage without overheating. A robust duty cycle means that professionals can rely on this machine for prolonged periods, making it a dependable choice for heavy-duty tasks.

The SVM148-B also includes advanced safety features such as overload protection, which ensures that the machine will shut down in the event of excessive current draw. This feature not only protects the equipment but also enhances user safety during operation.

Moreover, the machine is compatible with a wide variety of welding wires and electrodes, adding to its versatility. Whether you're working with stainless steel, aluminum, or mild steel, the SVM148-B can adapt seamlessly.

In conclusion, the Lincoln Electric SVM148-B combines advanced inverter technology with user-friendly features, making it an invaluable addition to any welding setup. Its portability, control options, robust duty cycle, and safety measures set it apart as a reliable and efficient welding solution for professionals and hobbyists alike. Whether for a small workshop or large industrial applications, the SVM148-B meets the demands of modern welding with efficiency and ease.
