TLW-300SS — GENERAL INFORMATION
TLW-300SS FAMILIARIZATION
Generator
The MQ Power Model TLW-300SS welder/AC generator can
provide 280 amps of welding current. When used as a
generator, can provide a maximum of 10 kilowatts of power.
Control Panel
The control panel is provided with the following:
 One GFCI 120 volt receptacle, 20 amp
 One 120 volt receptacle, 30 amp
 One 120/240 volt receptacle, 30 amp
 Circuit Protector Breaker (GFCI) 120V @20 Amps
 Idle Control Switch
 Main Circuit Breaker, 42A
 Starter Switch
 Warning Lamp Unit
 Hour Meter
 Ground Terminal
Engine Protection System
Engine protection fail safe features are provided in the event
of low oil pressure, high coolant temperature and failure of
the battery to charge. If any of the above conditions occur
while operating the welder/AC generator, it will cause a
complete unit shut down.
Battery Charge Indicator
This unit is equipped with a protective device that signals
an indicator and automatically stops the engine when the
battery cannot be charged by the alternator.
Water Temperature Indicator
This unit is equipped with an apparatus that signals an
indicator and automatically stops the engine when the cooling
water temperature becomes abnormally high. This apparatus
will not function properly if the machine is operated with
less than the proper amount of coolant.
Oil Pressure Warning Indicator
In the event of low oil pressure (engine), this welder/AC
generator is equipped with an engine protection fail safe
system . If low oil pressure is detected while operating the
welder/AC generator, the engine protection system will shut
down the engine.
If this condition (low oil pressure) should occur, please refer
to the engine troubleshooting table (page 28) in this manual.
Excitation System
The TLW-300SS Welder/AC generator uses a brushless
exciter to create rated output electricity. This system will
use the mechanical energy generated by the 3600 RPM
engine to spin the rotor (or armature) inside the welder/AC
generator (or alternator end).
The motion created by the rotor (which holds copper coils)
spins inside a housing pf permanent magnets called the
"STATOR". A magnetic field is created by the stator and
produces an electrical current.
Engine
The TLW-300SS is powered by a 4-cycle KUBOTA diesel
engine. This engine is designed to meet every performance
requirement for welder/AC generator. Reference Table 1, page
10 for engine specifications.
In keeping with MQ Power's policy of constantly improving
its products, the specifications quoted herein are subject to
change without prior notice.
Figures 2 and 3 (pages 13-14) show the basic controls and
indicators for the TLW-300SS Welder/AC generator.
