.Generator power decreases as weld current increases.

1 240 V AC Receptacle RC1

RC1 supplies 60 Hz single-phase power at weld/power speed. Maximum output is 4.5 kVA/kW (peak) or 4 kVA/kW (continuous).

2120 V 20 A AC Duplex Receptacle RC2

3120 V 20 A AC Duplex Receptacle RC3

RC2 and RC3 supply 60 Hz single-phase power at weld/power speed. Maximum output from RC2 or RC3 is 2.4 kVA/kW.

.Do not parallel the two 120V duplex receptacles.

4 Supplementary Protector CB1

CB1 protects the receptacles from over- load. If CB1 opens, the receptacles do not work. Move switch to the On position to re- set.

218 610−B

.If supplementary protector continues

to open, contact Factory Authorized Service Agent.

Combined output of all receptacles limited to 4 kVA/kW continuous rating of the gen- erator (See Section 11 − Generator Power Guidelines).

EXAMPLE: If 10 A is drawn from each 120 volt duplex receptacle, only 6 A is available from the 240 V receptacle.

2 x (120 V x 10 A) + (240 V x 6 A) = 4 kVA/ KW.
