GENERATOR OPERATION

Be sure that any electrical equipment plugged into

the generator’s AC power receptacles can withstand

a +5%-15% voltage and a ±5% frequency variation.

Some electronic devices cannot be powered by the

POWER ARC 5000. Refer to Table A.2, ELECTRICAL

DEVICE USE WITH THE POWER ARC 5000, in the

INSTALLATION section of this manual.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The POWER ARC 5000 generator is rated at 5000

continuous watts. It provides both 120 volt and 240

volt power. You can draw up to 15 amps from either

side of the 120 volt duplex receptacle. Up to 30amps

can be drawn from the 120 volt Twist-Lock recepta-

cle. Up to 20.8 amps of 240 volt power can be drawn

from the 120/240 volt Twist-Lock receptacle.

Electrical loads in watts are calculated by multiplying

the voltage rating of the load by the number of amps

it draws. (This information is given on the load device

nameplate.) For example, a device rated 120 volts, 2

amps will need 240 watts of power (120 x 2 = 240).

You can use Table B.3, GENERATOR POWER APPLI-

CATIONS, to determine the wattage requirements of

the most common types of loads you can power with

the POWER ARC 5000. Be sure to read the notes at

the bottom of the table.

TO USE THE GENERATOR AS AN AUXILIARY

POWER SUPPLY:

1. Start the gasoline engine. See ENGINE OPERA-

TION in this section of the manual.

2. Set the current control dial on the output control

panel to “GENERATOR.” See Figure B.1.

3. Plug the load(s) into the appropriate 120 volt or

240 volt power receptacle.

NOTE: During welding, the maximum generator out-

put for auxiliary loads is 100 watts.

NOTE: You can supply multiple loads as long as the

total load does not exceed 4,000 watts. Be

sure to start the largest loads first.
