Lincoln Electric IM10052 RANGER 250 GXT (AU) - Manual (Page 12)

A-6 INSTALLATION
RANGER® 250 GXT (AU)
A-6
MOTOR STARTING
Most 1.5 hp AC single phase motors can be started if
there is no load on the motor or other load connected
to the machine, since the full load current rating of a
1.5 hp motor is approximately 10 amperes for 240 volt
motors. The motor may be run at full load when
plugged into only one side of the duplex receptacle.
Larger motors through 2 hp can be run provided the
receptacle rating as previously stated is not exceeded.
Ranger® 250 GXT (AU) Extension Cord Length Recommendations
(Use the shortest length extension cord possible sized per the following table.)
WELDER OPERATION
WELDER OUTPUT
• Maximum Open Circuit Voltage at 3700 RPM is
80 Volts RMS.
• Duty Cycle is the percentage of time the load is
being applied in a 10 minute period. For example, a
60% duty cycle represents 6 minutes of load and 4
minutes of no load in a 10 minute period. Duty
Cycle for the Ranger® 250 GXT (AU) is 100%.
AUXILIARY POWER
The auxiliary power capacity of the Ranger® 250 GXT
(AU) is 7.2KW of 60Hz single phase power protected
by an RCD (Residual Current Device) and 2 single
phase 15 amp circuit breakers. The auxiliary power
capacity in watts equivalent to volt-amperes at unity
power factor.
This model has:
1 Residual Current Device (RCD) protection (30mA).
2 x 1 phase 15 amp Circuit Breakers.
2 x 1 phase 240 volt 15 amp per outlet.
Note: The single-phase outlets are from different
phases and cannot be paralleled.
The auxiliary power receptacles should only be used
with three grounded type plugs or approved double
insulated tools. The current rating of any plug used
with the system must be at least equal to the current
capacity of the associated receptacle.
Do not connect any plugs that connect to the
power receptacles in parallel.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Start the engine and set the “IDLER” control switch to
the desired operating mode. Set the “CONTROL” to
10. Voltage is now correct at the receptacles for auxil-
iary power.
