Machine Description

Vanguard's Continuously Powered Welding (CPW) Package attachment is a modular, self powered design that can be
mounted to a variety of carriers—pipelayers, crawler tractors, etc.—or on a self-contained skid-mount. It provides clean,
stable alternating current (AC) to power a variety of welding power units and auxiliary equipment. The CPW 125-4-S2-s-s2
(or series 2) unit can be configured to provide either 480/120-240VAC at a frequency of 60Hz, or 415/240VAC at a
frequency of 50Hz.
The primary use of this machine is for petroleum-product pipeline construction.
The operator should read, understand, and follow both the carrier's and the CPW's operating and maintenance instructions.
The operator must comply with all pipeline-construction procedures, regulations, and safety precautions.
This equipment is to be operated by qualified personnel only.
The daily service/inspection procedure should be performed before start-up.
Note: Refer to the specific module's—Compressor, Engine, Generator, Welding Power-unit—operation and maintenance
manuals for detailed information on the operation of the respective module.
