3-6. Duty Cycle And Overheating
Duty Cycle is percentage of 10 min-
utes that unit can weld at rated load
without overheating.
If unit overheats, output stops and
cooling fan runs. Wait fifteen min-
utes for unit to cool. Reduce amper-
age or voltage, or duty cycle before
welding.
NOTICE
−
Exceeding duty cycle
can damage unit and void warranty.
