2.02 Volt-Amp Curve
NOTE
Volt-ampere curves show the voltage and amperage
output capabilities of the welding power source. Curves of
other settings will fall between the curves shown.
2.03 Duty Cycle
The duty cycle of a welding generator is the percentage of
a ten-minute period that a welding generator can be
operated at a given output without causing overheating
and damage of the unit. This unit is rated at 60 percent
duty cycle when operated at 270 amperes. The unit can be
operated at 270 amperes for six consecutive minutes, but
it must operate at no load for the remaining four minutes
to allow proper cooling. If the welding amperes decrease,
the duty cycle increases. If the welding amperes are
increased beyond rated output, the duty cycle will
decrease.
CAUTION: CONTINUAL OPERATION
EXCEEDING THE DUTY CYCLE RATINGS CAN
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE WELDING POWER
SOURCE.

1. 230/115V Single Phase Receptacle - Supplies 60 Hz
single-phase power at weld/power speed.
2. Earth connection – used to earth ground the generator
for auxiliary power.
3. 230/115V 50A Circuit breakers - Push to reset.
Controls 230/115V power source for the 230/115V
receptacle.
4. 115V 20A Circuit Breakers - Push to reset. Controls
115V power source for the 115V duplex GFCI
receptacles.
5. 115 V Single Phase GFCI Receptacle – Supplies 60
Hz single-phase power at weld/power speed
6. Welding Receptacle Work: Negative output welding
connection for CC (Constant current) STICK.
7. Welding receptacle Work : Negative output welding
connection for CV (Constant voltage) MIG.
8. 115V 3A Circuit breaker – Push to reset. Controls
115V power source for wire feeders Controlled
through the 14 pin receptacle.
9. Oil Level Lamp - When the ON/OFF Switch is
turned on the Oil Level Lamp will Not Glow. Should
the oil sensor in the engine detect a low oil condition
the Oil Level Lamp will turn-on and the engine will
shut off.
10. Amperage /Voltage control – detects the desired
Amperage or voltage (depending on mode) within the
entire range of the welding generator. The scale
surrounding the control represents approximate actual
values.
