GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Commander 500 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 insulated with NEMA class F insulation material. The stator is then impregnated with three layers of high quality var- nish. After the stator is assembled using tie bars, the entire assembly is covered with an environmentally 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 more than 12 hours at full load.

The Deutz F3L-912 engine is equipped with a stan- dard, heavy duty, combination fuel filter/water separa- tor element.
