Abstract: A system, in one embodiment, may include a portable unit having an engine, a generator coupled to the engine, a compressor coupled to the engine, and a priority load controller. The controller may be configured to adjust various loads on the engine, the generator, or the compressor, or a combination thereof, in response to a priority control scheme. A computer-implemented method, in another embodiment, may include adjusting power output to various loads on an engine, a welding generator coupled to the engine, or an air compressor coupled to the engine, or a combination thereof, in a portable welding unit in response to a priority control scheme.

Abstract: An engine-driven welder generator is controlled based upon power draw for welding and other applications. Once a welding arc is initiated, the power draw is monitored. The engine speed, and therefore the power output of the generator, may be increased or maintained based upon the power draw. The power draw may include both welding power draw and auxiliary power draw. The engine speed is increased in increments. The initial engine speed and subsequent increments may depend upon particular welding processes or regimes.

Abstract: An engine-driven welder/generator is controlled by an integrated controller that is coupled to both the engine and to the welder/generator. The controller receives input signals for operational parameters of the engine, and additional signals indicative of electrical output by the welder/generator. Operation of the engine and welder/generator may thus be coordinated. The controller may control speed, timing, fuel injection, and so forth of the engine, and output of the welder/generator, such as by control of input to a field coil.

Abstract: An engine driven welder-generator including a chopper circuit and being adapted to produce an AC weld output, a DC weld output, and an auxiliary output is provided. The engine driven welder-generator is capable of selectively running at a low engine speed or a high engine speed based on operator inputs and may produce both AC and DC power outputs while utilizing the chopper circuit. The engine driven welder-generator is also adapted to provide an auxiliary output during an AC welding process and a DC welding process.
