greater than 40°C.
Duty cycle and Overheating
The duty cycle of a welding machine is the percentage of
time in a 10 minute cycle at which the welder can operate
the machine at rated welding current.
Example: 60% duty cycle:
Welding for 6 minutes.
Break for 4 minutes.
Excessive extension of the duty cycle will cause the
thermal protection circuit to activate.
