Lincoln Electric IM571 RANGER 300 D and 300 DLX - Manual (Page 28)

B-13 OPERATION B-13
AUXILIARY POWER
The Ranger 300 can provide up to 12,000 watts of
120/240 volts AC, Single phase 60 HZ power for con-
tinuous use. The front of the machine includes three
receptacles for connecting AC power Plugs, one 50
amp 120/240 volt NEMA 14-50R receptacle and two
15 amp 120 volt NEMA 5-15R receptacles. Do not
connect any plugs that connect to the power recepta-
cles in parallel.
Start the engine and set the "IDLER" control switch to
the desired operating mode. Set the "CONTROL" to
10. Voltage is now correct at the receptacles for auxil-
iary power.
Most single phase motors through 2.0 HP can be
started if there is no load on the motor or other load
connected to the machine. Since the full load current
of a 2.0 HP motor is typically 18 to 20 Amps when
operated at 120 V or 9 to 11 Amps when operated at
240 V, it should be connected to the 120/240 dual
voltage receptacle. The full load current of a 1.5 HP
motor is typically 15 to 17 Amps when operated at 120
V or 7.5 to 8.5 Amps when operated at 240 V, it also
should be connected to the 120/240 dual voltage
receptacle. a 1.0 HP that draws less than 15 Amps at
120 V can be plugged into one of the 120 V duplex
receptacles.
SIMULTANEOUS WELDING AND POWER
LOADS
Auxiliary power ratings are with no welding load.
Simultaneous welding and power loads are permitted
by the following table. The permissible currents
shown assume that current is being drawn from either
the 120 volt or 240 volt supply (not both at the same
time).

NOTE: Voltage and permissible watts decrease as "CONTROL" is adjusted to settings less than 10. It is recommended that
at settings less than 10, only incandescent lighting loads be connected to the auxiliary power receptacles.
