RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS
WELDER
The Commander 500 provides excellent constant cur- rent DC welding output for stick (SMAW) and TIG weld- ing. The Commander 500 also provides excellent con- stant voltage DC welding output for MIG (GMAW) and Innershield (FCAW) welding.
GENERATOR
The Commander 500 provides smooth 120/240 VAC output for auxiliary power and emergency standby power.
