Duty cycle
The Rogue EM 180 has a welding current output of 180 A at 25% duty cycle (230 V). A self-resetting
thermostat will protect the power source if the duty cycle is exceeded.
If the power source operates at a 25% duty cycle, it will provide the rated amperage for a maximum of
2.5 minutes out of every 10-minute period. The remaining time, 7.5 minutes, the power source must
be allowed to cool down.
