AUXILIARY POWER WHILE WELDING Simultaneous welding and power loads are permitted by following Table I. The permissible currents shown assume that current is being drawn from either the 120V or 240V supply (not both at the same time). Also, the “Output Control” is set at “10” for maximum auxil- iary power.

TABLE I

SIMULTANEOUS WELDING AND POWER

Output Selector	Permissible Power	Permissible Auxiliary
Setting	Watts (Unity Power	Current in Amperes
Max. Stick or Wire	Factor)	@ 120V *-or- @ 240V
	None	0	0
Feed Setting
145 Stick Setting	3450	32	16
90 Stick Setting	6000	50**	25
NO WELDING	9000	76**	38

*Each duplex receptacle is limited to 20 amps.

**Not to exceed 40A per 120VAC branch circuit when splitting the 240 VAC output.

STANDBY POWER CONNECTIONS

The RANGER® 10,000 or RANGER® 10,000 PLUS is suitable for temporary, standby, or emergency power using the engine manufacturerʼs recommended mainte- nance schedule.

The RANGER® 10,000 or RANGER® 10,000 PLUS can be permanently installed as a standby power unit for 240V-3 wire, single phase 38 ampere service.

WARNING

Connections must be made by a licensed electri- cian who can determine how the 120/240V power can be adapted to the particular installation and comply with all applicable electrical codes. The fol- lowing information can be used as a guide by the electrician for most applications. (Refer to the con- nection diagram shown in Figure A.1.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.Install a double pole, double throw switch between the power company meter and the premises disconnect.

Switch rating must be the same or greater than the customerʼs premises disconnect and service overcurrent protection.

2.Take necessary steps to assure load is limited to the capacity of the RANGER® 10,000 by installing a 40 Amp 240V double pole circuit breaker. Maximum rated load for the 240V auxiliary is 38 amperes. Loading above 38 amperes will reduce output voltage below the allowable -10% of rated voltage which may damage appliances or other motor-driven equipment.

3.Install a 50 amp 120/240V plug (NEMA type 14-50) to the Double Pole Circuit Breaker using a 4 con ductor cable that is properly sized for the ampacity and length to be used.

(The 50amp 120/240V plug is available in the optional plug kit.)

4.Plug this cable into the 50 amp 120/240V receptacle on the RANGER® 10,000 case front.
