SDW-225SS — LOAD APPLICATION
Single Phase Load
Always be sure to check the nameplate on the generator
and equipment to insure the wattage, amperage and
frequency requirements are satisfactorily supplied by the
generator for operating the equipment.
Generally, the wattage listed on the nameplate of the
equipment is its rated output. Equipment may require
130-150% more wattage than the rating on the nameplate,
as the wattage is influenced by the efficiency, power factor
and starting system of the equipment.
The power factor of this welder/generator is 1.0. See Table
10 below when connecting loads.
z When connecting a resistance load such as an
incandescent lamp or electric heater, a capacity of up
to the generator's rated output (kW) can be used.
z When connecting a fluorescent or mercury lamp, a
capacity of up to the generator's rated output (kW)
multiplied by 0.6 can be used.
z When connecting an electric drill or other power tools,
pay close attention to the required starting current
An inadequate size connecting cable which cannot carry
the required load can cause a voltage drop which can burn
out the appliance or tool and overheat the cable.
The idle control is operated at minimum load capacity of
100W. If the load capacity is less than 100W, throw the idle
control switch to the OFF position.
Before connecting this generator to any building’s electrical
system, a licensed electrician must install an isolation
(transfer) switch. Serious injury or death may result without
this transfer switch.
z When connecting ordinary power tools, a capacity of up
to the generator’s rated output (kW) multiplied by 0.8
can be used.

If wattage is not given on the
equipment's name plate, approximate
wattage may be determined by
multiplying nameplate voltage by the
nameplate amperage.
WATTS = VOLTAGE x AMPERAGE
