PROCEDURE

No-load test values

High idle (No load) RPM: 3700-3800 RPM (61.7 – 63.3 Hz)

Low idle RPM: 2250-2500 RPM (37.5 – 41.7 Hz)

Weld terminal open Circuit Voltage (OCV):

Weld control at maximum: 70 – 80 VDC

Weld control at minimum: 45 – 60 VDC

Full load test values:

Weld output control set to maximum.

Output amps: 165 – 190, Volts: 21 – 27, RPM: 3300 – 3650

Weld output set to minimum:

Output amps: 40 – 55, Volts: 20 – 28

Auxiliary receptacles with weld output control set to maximum:

230 Volt receptacles:

Load amps: 22. – 25, Volts: 216 – 250 VAC

120 Volt receptacles:

Load amps: 20.2 – 24, Volts: 108 – 130 VAC

NOTE:

Values shown above are for a machine that is at normal full load temperature. Readings will
likely be slightly higher if machine is cold.
