Engine Driven Generator - Lincoln Electric INVERTEC SVM161-A Service Manual

A-5
230V INPUT
The equipment is provided with a 230/115V cable,
6.6ft.(2m) in length with a 230V 6-50P attachment plug.
The Invertec® V205-T AC/DC™ performs best when
connected to 230VAC inputs. This input allows full out-
put of the machine (200 amps).
115V INPUT
A suitable 115V attachment plug must be installed on
the power cord to use the V205-T AC/DC™ with a
115V input supply. The rated output of the V205-T
AC/DC™ is available when connected to a 30A branch
circuit. When connected to a branch circuit with lower
amp rating, lower welding current and duty cycle must
be used. An output guide is provided below. The values
are approximate and must be adjusted downward if the
fuse or circuit breaker trips off. Other loads on the cir-
cuit and fuse/circuit breaker characteristics will affect
the available output. Do not exceed these welding con-
ditions:
15A branch circuit
10% duty cycle
Stick: 75A
TIG: 105A
20A branch circuit
10% duty cycle
Stick: 90A
TIG: 130A
ATTACHMENT PLUG INSTALLATION
Connect the white (neutral) wire under terminal clamp
with silver screw, and black (hot) wire under terminal
clamp with brass screw. Connect green wire under ter-
minal clamp with green screw.
WARNING
Failure to wire as instructed may cause personal
injury or damage to equipment. To be installed or
checked by an electrician or qualified person only.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION
In all cases, the green or green/yellow grounding wire
must be connected to the grounding pin of the plug,
usually identified by a green screw.
Attachment plugs must comply with the Standard for
Attachment Plugs and Receptacles, UL498.
The product is considered acceptable for use only
when an attachment plug as specified is properly
attached to the supply cord.
For use on engine drives, keep in mind the above input
draw restrictions and the following precaution.

ENGINE DRIVEN GENERATOR

The Invertec® V205-T AC/DC™ can be operated on
engine driven generators as long as the 230 volt auxil-
iary meets the following conditions:
• The AC waveform peak voltage is below 400 volts.
• The AC waveform frequency is between 45 and
65Hz.
The following Lincoln engine drives meet these condi-
tions when run in the high idle mode:
• Ranger 250,305
• Commander 300, 400, & 500
Some engine drives do not meet these conditions (e.g.
Miller Bobcats, etc). Operation of the Invertec® V205-
T AC/DC™ is not recommended on engine drives not
conforming to these conditions. Such drives may deliv-
er unacceptably high voltage levels to the Invertec®
V205-T AC/DC™ power source.
