ABOUT COMPRESSOR DUTY CYCLE:
Duty cycle refers to the amount of time a compressor can be operated in a given time period at 100
PSI, and a standard ambient temperature of 72° F. It is commonly expressed in percentage format:
Compressor on time ÷ (on time + off time) = Duty Cycle %.
ONE-HOUR DUTY CYCLE MINUTES ON /
(100 PSI @ 72°F) MINUTES OFF
9% 5 Min. On / 55 Min. Off
10% 6 Min. On / 54 Min. Off
15% 9 Min. On / 51 Min. Off
20% 12 Min. On / 48 Min. Off
25% 15 Min. On / 45 Min. Off
30% 18 Min. On / 42 Min. Off
33% 20 Min. On / 40 Min. Off
50% 30 Min. On / 30 Min. Off
100% 1 Hour Run Time
NOTE: All compressors, regardless of rated duty cycle, require sufficient rest time in between cycles
to allow for partial or complete heat dissipation. Heat dissipation rates may vary depending on
ambient temperatures and operating conditions.
ABOUT RATED WORKING PRESSURE:
To ensure trouble free service life of your compressor, always operate compressor within rated
working pressure of the compressor. Never use a pressure switch with a higher cut-off pressure than
compressor’s rated working pressure.
