AUXILIARY POWER
CAUTION
Be sure that any electrical equipment plugged into the
generator's AC power receptacles can withstand a
±10% voltage and a ±3% frequency variation. Some
electronic devices cannot be powered by the WEL-
DANPOWER 125. Refer to Table A.2, ELECTRICAL
DEVICE USE WITH THE WELDANPOWER 125, in the
INSTALLATION section of this manual.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The WELDANPOWER 125 generator is rated at 4500
continuous watts (3500 watts CSA). It provides both
115 volt and 230 volt power. You can draw up to 20
amps from either side of the 115 volt duplex recepta-
cle, but no more than 37 amps from both sides at
once. Up to 18 amps can be drawn from the single
230 volt receptacle.
CAUTION
The 115 volt duplex receptacle is "split phase."
Damage will result if you attempt to connect both
sides of this receptacle in parallel to a load.
Electrical loads in watts are calculated by multiplying
the voltage rating of the load by the number of amps it
OPERATION
draws. (This information is given on the load device
nameplate.) For example, a device rated 115 volts, 2
amps will need 230 watts of power (115 x 2 = 230).
You can use Table B.3, GENERATOR POWER APPLI-
CATIONS, to determine the wattage requirements of
the most common types of loads you can power with
the WELDANPOWER 125. Be sure to read the notes
at the bottom of the table.
TO USE THE WELDANPOWER 125 AS AN
AUXILIARY POWER SUPPLY:
1. Start the gasoline engine. See Engine Operation
in this section of the manual.
2. Set the current control dial on the output control
panel to "MAX."
3. Plug the load(s) into the appropriate 115 volt or
230 volt power receptacle.
NOTE: During welding, the maximum generator out-
put for auxiliary loads is 100 watts.
NOTE: You can supply multiple loads as long as they
are isolated from each other and the total load
does not exceed 4,500 watts (3500 watts
CSA). Be sure to start the largest loads first.
