OPERATION

Return to Section TOC

The 240 VAC output can be split to provide two sepa- rate 120 VAC outputs with a maximum permissible cur- rent of 33 amps per output to two separate 20 amp branch circuits. (These circuits cannot be paralleled.) Output voltage is within ±10% at all loads up to rated capacity.

The 120 VAC auxiliary power receptacles should only be used with three-wire, grounded type plugs or approved double-insulated tools with two-wire plugs. The current rating of any plug used with the system must be at least equal to the current capacity of the associated receptacle. For extension cord lengths, see Table B.5.

NOTE: The 240 VAC receptacle has two circuits, each of which measures 120 VAC to neutral. However, they are of opposite polarity and cannot be paralleled.

SIMULTANEOUS WELDING AND AUXILIARY POWER LOADS

The auxiliary power ratings are with no welding load. Simultaneous welding and power loads are specified 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).

*Each duplex receptacle is limited to 20 amps.

**Not to exceed 25 amps per 120 VAC branch circuit when splitting the 240 VAC output.
