SECTION 7 − OPERATING AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT

NOTE

The welding generator provides power while welding and with the Current control in any position. However, under these conditions equipment connected to the welding generator may be subject to larger than normal voltage fluctuations. It is recommended that only lamps be powered under these conditions.

YIf unit does not have GFCI recep- tacles, use GFCI-protected exten- sion cord.

YPower is still present at the 240 volt receptacle when only one circuit breaker trips.

Unplug power cord before attempt- ing to service accessories or tools.

.Generator power decreases as weld current increases.

Set Amperage control at max. for full generator power.

.Place throttle lever in Run position (far right) for generator power.

1 120 V AC Twistlock Receptacle RC1

RC1 supplies 60 Hz single-phase power at weld/power speed. Maximum output is 3.5 kVA/kW.

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.

.Each receptacle of the duplex can pro- vide 15A/1800W.

.Do not parallel the two 120V duplex receptacles.

4 Circuit Breaker CB1

CB1 protects RC1 from overload. If CB1 opens, RC1 does not work.

5 Circuit Breakers CB2 And CB3

CB2 protects RC2 and CB3 protects RC3 from overload. If a circuit breaker opens, the receptacle does not work.

.Press button to reset circuit breaker. If breaker continues to open, contact Factory Authorized Service Agent.

Combined output of all receptacles limited to 6 kVA/kW rating of the generator (See Section 11 − Generator Power Guide- lines).

EXAMPLE: If 10 A is drawn from each 120 volt duplex receptacle, only 9 A is available from the 120 V twistlock receptacle.

2 x (120 V x 10 A) + (240 V x 9 A) = 3.5 kVA/ KW.
