Duty cycle
The duty cycle refers to the time as a percentage of a ten-minute period that you can weld at a
certain load without overloading. The duty cycle is valid for temperatures up to 40°C
Enclosure class
The IP code indicates the enclosure class, i.e. the degree of protection against penetration by solid
objects or water. Equipment marked IP21 is designed for indoor use.
