DUTY CYCLE
The rated Duty Cycle refers to the amount of welding that can be done within an amount of time. The Eastwood Arc 80 has a Duty Cycle
of 20% at 95 Amps. It is easiest to look at your welding time in blocks of 10 Minutes and the Duty Cycle being a percentage of that 10
Minutes. If welding at 80 Amps with a 20% Duty Cycle, within a 10 Minute block of time you can weld for 2 Minutes with 8 Minutes of
cooling for the welder.
If the Duty Cycle is exceeded, the Welder will automatically shut off however the fan will continue running to cool the overheated
components. When a safe temperature has been reached, the Welder will automatically switch the welder output back on.
To increase the Duty Cycle you can turn down the Amperage Output control.
