*Duty Cycle

 

Duty Cycle is simply the amount of time out 
of a 10 minute period in which the unit can 
operate.  For example, this unit has a duty 
cycle of 50% at maximum output, that 
means that the unit can be operated for 5 
minutes out of 10 minutes.  This is rated for 
continuous or intermittent use during the 10 
minute period of time. This rating standard 
(United States) is based on a maximum 
ambient temperature of 40 C. Operating 
above this point, or at lower temperatures 
with high humidity may reduce the duty 
cycle rating. Of course, the duty cycle will 
increase somewhat as ambient temperature  
and output Amps drops as well.  Regardless, 
the duty cycle is not controlled by a timer.  
Rather, a heat sensor located on a heat sink 
near the critical power components of the 
welder signals overheat. If the operating 
temperature of the unit is exceeded, welding 
output will stop and an over

-

temperature 

warning light/error code will be displayed on 
the screen.  If a duty cycle event occurs, do 
not turn the unit off!  Allow the welder to 
continue to run at idle for at least 10

-

15 

minutes until the temperature has fallen 
enough to reset the sensor and over

-

temperature warning light

.  Even if the unit 

resets, allow the unit to cool for a full 15 
minutes, or the duty cycle will be more 
quickly triggered since the unit resets just 
below the heat threshold. The fan(s) should 
be allowed to continue to cool for a full 15 
minutes without welding/cutting activity after 
a duty cycle shut down has occurred. 

After 

15 minutes of cooling, you may switch the 
unit off if you are finished welding.  If the 
unit does not automatically reset after 15 
minutes, turn the unit off. Wait for 15 sec-
onds before turning the  machine back on.  
If the unit does not reset,  contact technical 
support for further advice and assistance. As 
a best practice, before shut down, if you 
have been welding continuously for extend-
ed periods of time, keep your unit on for 10 
additional minutes to allow it to cool 
down.The intentional and/or repeated trig-
gering of the duty cycle protection feature 
on this unit will shorten the lifespan of the 
unit

s electronics and can weaken internal 

components. Overheating your unit repeat-
edly takes a cumulative toll on the unit. 

 

Breaker Sizing and Wiring Requirements

 

Before installation of this unit in any facility, always consult a licensed local electrician familiar with the requirements of properly wiring a welder into the electrical supply. 

Refer to 

the National Electric Code (NEC) and local codes.  If needed, refer the electrician to Article 630 of the NEC during consultation to determine proper application and wiring needs. 
Use the I1MAX  and the I1EFF  ratings listed above to determine the proper breaker and conductor (wire) sizing required. Everlast welders are designed around use in industrial 
wiring applications and are intended to be used with modern electrical systems. Household wiring may need to be upgraded before this welder may be installed.  Additional HF 
protection and isolation may be needed if this welder interferes with the operation of electrical/electronic equipment. WARNING! Do not modify welder wiring. This unit meets the 
standards for conductor sizing on the power cable and takes into account power cable length, duty cycle and rated current.
