MD Series How to Read the Duty Cycle Graph Ex.) When performing welding with 6000 A in a temperature of 40°C using 1 master and 1 slave (The number of connected devices: 2) Divide the current value by the number of devices to calculate the current per device, and then find the weld time referring to the duty cycle graph based on the obtained current value.
