SECTION 7 − OPERATING AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT

7-1. Generator Power Receptacles

217 357-A

1

120 V 20 A AC (shown)

Receptacle RC5 and/or GFCI1

2

120 V 20 A AC GFCI (shown)

Receptacle RC6 and/or GFCI2

3

240 V 50 A AC

Receptacle RC11

RC5 / 6 and GFCI1 / 2 supply 60 Hz single-

phase power at weld/power speed. Recep-

tacle configuration varies depending on

machine model and serial number.
Maximum output from these receptacles is

2.4 kVA/kW.
If a ground fault is detected, GFCI Reset

button pops out and receptacle does not

work. Check for faulty equipment plugged

in receptacle. Press button to reset GFCI

receptacle.

.

At least once a month, run engine at
weld/power speed and press test but-

ton to verify GFCI is working properly.

RC11 supplies 60 Hz single-phase power

at weld/power speed. Maximum output

from RC11 is 10 kVA/kW.

Supplementary Protector CB5

CB4 protects RC6 / GFCI2 and CB6 pro-

tects RC5 / GFCI1 from overload. If a sup-

plementary protector opens, the receptacle

does not work. Press button to reset.
Supplementary protector CB5 protects re-

ceptacles and the generator winding from

overload. If CB5 opens, the receptacles do

not work. Place CB5 switch in On position

to reset circuit breaker.

.

If a supplementary protector continues
to open, contact Factory Authorized

Service Agent.

.

Generator power decreases as weld
output increases.

Combined output of all receptacles is limit-

ed to the 10 kVA/kw rating of the generator.

EXAMPLE: If 15 A is drawn from each 120

V receptacle , only 26 A is available at the

240 V receptacle:
2 x (120 V x 15 A) + (240 V x 26 A) =

10.0 kVA/kW
