SECTION 6 − OPERATING AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT

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.

Y If unit does not have GFCI recep-

tacles, use GFCI-protected exten-

sion cord.

Y Power 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.

2

120 V 20 A AC Duplex Receptacle

RC2

3

120 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.

Combined output of all receptacles limited

to 6 kVA/kW rating of the generator. (See

Generator Power Guidelines in Owner’s

Manual.)
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.
