Abstract
Systems and methods to control auxiliary power output voltage using a welding output voltage are disclosed. An example power system includes an engine, a generator to provide electrical power based on mechanical power received from the engine, the electrical power comprising welding-type power and non-welding power, and a controller to control the generator or the engine to increase or decrease a voltage of the non-welding power based on a voltage measurement of the welding-type power.
Claims20
A power system, comprising:
- an engine;
- a generator to provide electrical power based on mechanical power received from the engine, the electrical power comprising welding-type power and non-welding power;
- and
- a controller to control the generator or the engine to increase or decrease a voltage of the non-welding power based on a voltage measurement of the welding-type power.

A method, comprising:
- providing non-welding electrical output from an engine-powered electrical generator to an output device;
- measuring a voltage of a welding-type output provided by the electrical generator;
- and
- controlling the generator or the engine, using a control circuit, to increase or decrease a voltage of the non-welding output based on the voltage measurement of the welding-type output.
