The 240 VAC output can be split to provide two sepa-
rate 120 VAC outputs with a maximum permissible cur-
rent of 33 amps per output to two separate 20 amp
branch circuits. (These circuits cannot be paralleled.)
Output voltage is within ±10% at all loads up to rated
capacity.
The 120 VAC auxiliary power receptacles should only
be used with three-wire, grounded type plugs or
approved double-insulated tools with two-wire plugs.
The current rating of any plug used with the system
must be at least equal to the current capacity of the
associated receptacle. For extension cord lengths, see
Table B.5.
NOTE: The 240 VAC receptacle has two circuits, each
of which measures 120 VAC to neutral. However, they
are of opposite polarity and cannot be paralleled.
SIMULTANEOUS WELDING AND
AUXILIARY POWER LOADS
The auxiliary power ratings are with no welding load.
Simultaneous welding and power loads are specified in
Table B.4. The permissible currents shown assume
that current is being drawn from either the 120 VAC or
240 VAC supply (not both at the same time).

* Each duplex receptacle is limited to 20 amps.
** Not to exceed 25 amps per 120 VAC branch circuit when splitting the 240 VAC output.
