Lincoln Electric IM753 RANGER 9 - Manual (Page 15)

AUXILIARY POWER
The Ranger 9 can provide up to 9,000 watts of
115/230 volts AC, single phase 60Hz power for contin-
uous use. The front of the machine includes three
receptacles for connecting the AC power plugs ; one
50 amp 115/230 volt NEMA 14-50R receptacle and
two 20 amp 115 volt NEMA 5-20R receptacles.
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.
115/230 VOLT DUAL VOLTAGE RECEPTACLE
The 115/230 volt receptacle can supply up to 40 amps
of 230 volt power to a two wire circuit, up to 40 amps
of 115 volt power from each side of a three wire circuit
(up to 80 amps total). Do not connect the 115 volt cir-
cuits in parallel. Current sensing for the automatic idle
feature is only in one leg of the three wire circuit as
shown.

115V DUPLEX RECEPTACLE
The 115V auxiliary power receptacles should only be
used with three wire grounded type plugs or approved
double insulated tools with two wire plugs.
The current rating of any plug used with the system
must be at least equal to the current load through the
associated receptacle ( Refer to Tables l and ll ). Do
not attempt to connect power receptacles in parallel.
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 20 amperes (10
amperes for 230 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 stat-
ed is not exceeded. This may necessitate 230V oper-
ation only.

AUXILIARY POWER WHILE WELDING
It must be noted that the above auxiliary power ratings
are with no welding load. Simultaneous welding and
power loads are permitted by following the Table. The
permissible currents shown assume that current is
being drawn from either the 115V or 230V supply (not
both at the same time).
NOTE : Voltage and permissible watts decrease as
“ CONTROL ” is adjusted to settings less than 10. IT is
recommended that at settings less than 10, only
incandescent lighting loads be connected to the auxil-
iary power receptacles.
