3.4 Rated duty cycle
YP-060PF
The rated duty cycle is 60 %. This means that the machine can cut for a total of 6 minutes out of any
10 minutes at the rated current, and then, during the remaining 4 minutes, the machine must be
cooled down to prevent overheating.
Exceeding allowable duty cycle can cause the temperature rise higher than the maximum allowable
temperature, resulting in the performance degradation or damage.
The figure above shows the ideal value of cutting current and duty cycle. Please use the machine
within the corresponding duty cycle of cutting current..
