Considerations About Welding And The Effects Of Low Frequency
Electric And Magnetic Fields
1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them, or using a

cable cover.
Welding current, as it flows through welding cables, will cause electromagnetic fields. There has been and still is some concern about such
fields. However, after examining more than 500 studies spanning 17
years of research, a special blue ribbon committee of the National
Research Council concluded that: The body of evidence, in the
committees judgment, has not demonstrated that exposure to powerfrequency electric and magnetic fields is a human-health hazard.
However, studies are still going forth and evidence continues to be
examined. Until the final conclusions of the research are reached, you
may wish to minimize your exposure to electromagnetic fields when
welding or cutting.
2. Arrange cables to one side and away from the operator.
To reduce magnetic fields in the workplace, use the following

procedures:
Big Blue 300 P
3. Do not coil or drape cables around your body.

4. Keep welding power source and cables as far away from
operator as practical.
5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as
possible.
About Implanted Medical Devices:
Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their doctor and the
device manufacturer before performing or going near arc welding, spot
welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, or induction heating operations.
If cleared by your doctor, then following the above procedures is recommended.

feature automatically switches voltage/amperage control to the remote control (see Section 4-9).
With remote control connected, weld output is
determined by a combination of front panel
and remote control voltage/amperage settings.
If no remote control is connected to the Remote receptacle, the front panel Voltage/Amperage control adjusts voltage and amperage.
If a remote device connected to Remote
Receptacle RC14 is faulty or is disconnected, the meters display Help 25 (see

Section 7-11). Clear fault by stopping and
restarting the unit or by turning Process/
Contactor switch to another position.

Ammeter displays preset amperage (Stick
and TIG only) when not welding, and actual
output amperage when welding.
To set amperage, turn Process/Contactor
switch to Stick or TIG position. Turn V/A control until desired amperage is displayed on
Ammeter. When welding is finished, ammeter
displays weld amperage and then defaults to

Process/Contactor Switch
Weld output terminals are energized when Process/Contactor

switch is in a Weld Terminals Always On position and the engine
is running.
Use switch to select weld process and

weld output on/off control (see table below).
Place switch in Remote On/Off Switch
Required positions to turn weld output on
and off with a device connected to the
Remote 14 receptacle.
Place switch in Weld Terminals Always
On positions for weld output to be on
whenever the engine is running.
Use Stick mode for air carbon arc
(CAC-A) cutting and gouging.
When switch is in Stick mode, select one
of four arc drive (dig) settings to provide
additional amperage during low voltage
(short arc length) conditions and prevent
sticking electrodes. Turn control from A
to D to increase arc drive (dig) from min
to max.

5-4. Lift-Arc Start Procedure

Lift-Arc TIG
With Lift-Arc TIG selected, start
arc as follows:
Lift-Arc Start Method
1
Touch
12
Seconds
TIG Electrode
Workpiece
Turn gas on. Touch tungsten

electrode to workpiece at weld start
point.
Hold
electrode
to
workpiece for 1-2 seconds, and
slowly lift electrode. Arc is formed
when electrode is lifted.
Normal open-circuit voltage is not
present before tungsten electrode
touches workpiece; only a low
sensing voltage is present between
electrode and workpiece. The
solid-state output contactor does
not energize until after electrode is
touching workpiece. This allows
electrode to touch workpiece
without overheating, sticking, or being contaminated.
Application:
Do NOT Strike Like A Match!
Lift-Arc is used for the DCEN

GTAW process when HF Start
method is not permitted, or to
replace the scratch method.
Notes
Work like a Pro!

Pros weld and cut
safely. Read the
safety rules at

SECTION 12 RUN-IN PROCEDURE

run_in1 200704
12-1. Wetstacking
NOTICE Do not perform run-in
procedure at less than 20 volts
weld output and do not exceed duty
cycle or equipment damage may
occur.
1
2
Welding Generator
Run diesel engines near rated voltage and current during run-in period
to properly seat piston rings and
prevent wetstacking. See nameplate, rating label, or specifications
section in this manual to find rated
voltage and current.
NOTICE Do not idle engine longer
than necessary. Piston rings seat
faster if engine runs at weld/power
rpm, and the welding generator is
kept loaded during run-in.
2
Engine Exhaust Pipe
Wetstacking is unburned fuel and

oil in the exhaust pipe and occurs
during run-in if the engine is run too
long at light load or idle rpm.
If exhaust pipe is coated with a wet,
black, tar-like substance, dry the
engine using one of the following
run-in procedures.
See the engine manual for additional engine run-in information.
TM-4433 Page 72

12-2. Run-In Procedure Using Load Bank

Stop engine.
Do not touch hot exhaust pipe,
engine parts, or load bank/grid.
Keep exhaust and pipe away
from flammables.
4
2
1
NOTICE Do not perform runin procedure at less than 20

volts weld output and do not
exceed duty cycle or equipment damage may occur.
1 Load Bank
Turn all load bank switches Off. If
needed, connect load bank to 115
volts ac wall receptacle or generator auxiliary power receptacle.
2 Welding Generator
Place A/V range switch in maximum position, A/V control in minimum position, and Output Selector
switch (if present) in either DC
position.
3 Weld Cables
Connect load bank to generator
weld output terminals using proper
size weld cables with correct
connectors. Observe
correct
polarity.
Start engine and run for several

minutes.
Set load bank switches and then
adjust generator A/V control so
load equals rated voltage and
current of generator (see nameplate, rating label, or the specifications section in this manual).
Check generator and load bank
meters after first five minutes then
every fifteen minutes to be sure
generator is loaded properly.
NOTICE Check oil level frequently during run-in; add oil if needed.
It is recommended to run the welding generator for two hours minimum and up to four hours under
load. Place A/V control in minimum
position, then turn off load bank to
remove load. Run engine several
minutes at no load.
4 Engine Exhaust Pipe
Repeat procedure if wetstacking
is present.

12-3. Run-In Procedure Using Resistance Grid

Stop engine.
Do not touch hot exhaust pipe,
engine parts, or load bank/grid.
Keep exhaust and pipe away
from flammables.
NOTICE Do not perform runin procedure at less than 20

volts weld output and do not
exceed duty cycle or equipment damage may occur.
1 Resistance Grid
Use grid sized for generator rated
output.
Turn Off grid.
2 Welding Generator
Place A/V range switch in maximum position, A/V control in minimum position, and Output Selector
switch (if present) in either DC
position.
3 Weld Cables
Connect grid to generator weld
output terminals using proper size
weld cables with correct connectors (polarity is not important).
4
Voltmeter
5 Clamp-On Ammeter
Connect voltmeter and ammeter as
shown, if not provided on generator.
Start engine and run for several
minutes.
Set grid switches and then adjust generator A/V control so
load equals rated voltage and
current of the generator (see
nameplate, rating label, or the
specifications section in this
manual).
Check generator and meters after

first five minutes then every fifteen
minutes to be sure generator is
loaded properly.
NOTICE Check oil level frequently during run-in; add oil if needed.
It is recommended to run the welding generator for two hours minimum and up to four hours under
load. Place A/V control in minimum
position, then shut down grid to
remove load. Run engine several
minutes at no load.
6 Engine Exhaust Pipe
Repeat procedure if wetstacking is
present.
