Lincoln Weld and Power Conditioning Output?
I have just revived an old Lincoln Weld and Power 125 that my dad had for many years.
Got the thing started and load tested with a hairdryer. Works! Loudest hairdryer ever! I was reading the manual online and it suggested that the power output might not be great for electronics and suggested having a constant load applied MIGHT help. What would you suggest for conditioning power output from this machine? Surge Protection? Power Line Conditioner like the Tripp Lite? Was thinking that having the Weld and Power available to run the furnace during power outages but the motherboard is huge on the newer HE furnaces plus variable blower motor. Wouldn't want to fry anything. |
We talking the dc machine?
|
No the A/C output .
120 VAC 20 amp 230 VAC 20 amp. Thinking about just using the 120 Volt output to power some appliances during an outage. Haven't put cables on it to check to see if it will weld. |
How many kw?
Depending on how old... They didn't come with much. I think you're thinking of delicate electronics. Check out this site. Much easier than typing it all out. https://generators.smps.us/inverter-generator.html |
4250 Watt continuous.
120/240 single phase. Will have a look at the link you provided. Thanks! |
Thinking you are probably right on that.
Even my 20 year old Jenn-Air fridge has a crap load of electronics in it. Certainly won't want to power up the home theater stuff on it.... |
I'm still using a 20 yo Lincoln 125 120V stored outside. Still works great.
Get a new wire spool and replace the sleeve ($50?) as a start. They wear out. You need smooth feed. Be careful and keep it wrapped or that thing will turn into spaghetti fast. Mine uses a plastic grooved-disk tensioner and is not very accurate. The spool tension is very important and also needs to be tweaked. It also uses a wingnut screw adjuster. Plug it in and check case ground first just in case wires were crossed at some point and you don't get electrocuted. Check the trigger-motor feeds wire correctly on/off. Check gas flow works. You should hear it. |
42 hours on this one!
My dad was a weldor but had retired and still wanted to have a portable around. It is just a stick but I see there is a wire feed option for it. |
