Auxiliary Power While Welding

Simultaneous welding and power loads are permitted
by following Table I. The permissible currents shown
assume that current is being drawn from either the
115V or 230V supply (not both at the same time). Also,
the "Output Control" is set at "10" for maximum auxil-
iary power.

Not to exceed 35A per 115VAC branch circuit when
splitting the 230 VAC output.

Standby Power Connections

The Ranger 8 is suitable for temporary, standby, or
emergency power using the engine manufacturer's rec-
ommended maintenance schedule.
The Ranger 8 can be permanently installed as a stand-
by power unit for 230V-3 wire, single phase 35 ampere
service.
WARNING
(Connections must be made by a licensed electri-
cian who can determine how the 115/230V power
can be adapted to the particular installation and
comply with all applicable electrical codes.) The
following information can be used as a guide by the
electrician for most applications (refer also to the
connection diagram shown in Figure 1.)
