AUXILIARY POWER OPERATION
Be sure that any electrical equipment plugged into
the generator AC power receptacles can withstand a
±10% voltage and a ±5% frequency variation. Some
electronic devices cannot be powered by the
WELDANPOWER 125. Refer to Table A.2,
ELECTRICAL DEVICE USE WITH THE
WELDANPOWER 125, in the INSTALLATION section
of this manual.
GENERAL INFORMATION
(For Codes 10158, 10160)
The WELDANPOWER 125 is rated at 4500
continuous watts (3500 watts CSA). It provides both
115 volt and 230 volt power. You can draw up to 20
amps (15 amps CSA) from either side of the 115 volt
duplex receptacle. Up to 20 amps (15 amps CSA) can
be drawn from the single 230 volt receptacle.
Electrical loads in watts are calculated by multiplying
the voltage rating of the load by the number of amps
it draws. (This information is given on the load device
nameplate.) For example, a device rated 115 volts, 2
amps will need 230 watts of power (115 x 2 = 230).
(For Codes 11183, 11406)
The WELDANPOWER 125 is rated at 5500 surge
watts or 4250 continuous watts. It provides both
120 volt and 240 volt power. You can draw up to 20
amps from either side of the 120 volt duplex
receptacle, but not more than 35.4 amps from both
sides at once. Up to 17.7 amps can be drawn from
the single 240 volt receptacle.
Electrical loads in watts are calculated by multiplying
the voltage rating of the load by the number of amps
it draws. (This information is given on the load device
nameplate.) For example, a device rated 120 volts, 2
amps will need 240 watts of power (120 x 2 = 240).
You can use Table B.3, AUXILIARY POWER
APPLICATIONS, to determine the wattage
requirements of the most common types of loads you
can power with the WELDANPOWER 125. Be sure to
read the notes at the bottom of the table.
TO USE THE WELDANPOWER 125 AS AN
AUXILIARY POWER SUPPLY:
1. Start the gasoline engine. See ENGINE
OPERATION in this section of the manual.
2. Set the current control dial on the output control
panel to “MAX.” See Figure B.1 and B.1a.
(For Codes 10158, 10160)
3.
Plug the load(s) into the appropriate 115 volt or
230 volt power receptacle.
(For Codes 11183, 11406)
3.
Plug the load(s) into the appropriate 120 volt or
240 volt power receptacle.
NOTE: During welding, the maximum generator output for auxiliary
loads is 100 watts.
(For Codes 10158, 10160)
NOTE: You can supply multiple loads as long as the total load
does not exceed 4,500 watts). Be sure to start the largest
loads first.
(For Codes 11183, 11406)
NOTE: You can supply multiple loads as long as the total load
does not exceed 5,500 surge watts or 4000 continuous
watts. Be sure to start the largest loads first.
