PLUGS AND HAND HELD EQUIPMENT

For further protection against electric shock, any
electrical equipment connected to the generator
receptacles must use a three-blade, grounded type
plug or an Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) approved
double insulated tool with a two blade plug.
WARNING
Never operate this machine with damaged or
defective cords. All electrical equipment must be in
safe operating condition.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

AUXILIARY POWER RECEPTACLES

The control panel of the Weldanpower 125 features
two auxiliary power receptacles:
(For Codes 10158, 10160)
• A 20 amp (15 amp CSA), 115 volt duplex (double
outlet) receptacle.
• A 20 amp (15 amp CSA), 230 volt single outlet
receptacle.
See Figure A.1
Through these receptacles the machine can supply up
to 4,500 watts (3,500 watts CSA) of single-phase 60
Hertz AC power. The machine output voltages meet
UL standards and fall within ± 10% of the rated
voltage.
(For Codes 11183, 11406)
• A 20 amp,120 volt duplex (double outlet)
receptacle.
• A 20 amp, 240 volt single outlet receptacle.
See Figure A.1a
Through these receptacles the machine can supply up
to 5,500 watts surge or 4250 watts continuous of
single-phase 60 Hertz AC power. The machine output
voltages meet UL standards and fall within ± 10% of
the rated voltage.
INSTALLATION

PREMISES WIRING

The Weldanpower 125 three-wire, grounded neutral
generator allows it to be connected to premises
wiring.
Only a licensed, certified, trained electrician should
install the machine to a premises or residential
electrical system. Be certain that:
• The premises is isolated and no back feeding into
the utility system can occur. Certain state and
local laws require the premises to be isolated
before the generator is linked to the premises.
Check your state and local requirements.
• A double pole, double throw transfer switch in
conjunction with the properly rated double throw
circuit breaker is connected between the
generator power and the utility meter.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Weldanpower 125 does not have a combined
120/240 volt receptacle and cannot be connected to a
premises as described in other Lincoln literature.
Remember that the Weldanpower 125 is intended
only for backup, intermittent use. It cannot withstand
long-term use without proper maintenance. See the
MAINTENANCE section of this manual for more
information.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

Auxiliary power is protected by circuit breakers. When
the machine is operated in high temperature
environments, the breakers may tend to trip at lower
loads than normally.
NEVER BYPASS THE CIRCUIT BREAKERS.
WITHOUT OVERLOAD PROTECTION, THE UNIT
COULD OVERHEAT AND/OR CAUSE DAMAGE TO
THE EQUIPMENT BEING USED.
