2.09 DUTY CYCLE

The rated duty cycle of a Welding Power Source, is a statement of the time it may be operated at its rated welding current output

without exceeding the temperature limits of the insulation of the component parts. To explain the 10 minute duty cycle period the

following example is used. Suppose a Welding Power Source is designed to operate at a 15% duty cycle, 90 amperes at 23.6 volts.

This means that it has been designed and built to provide the rated amperage (90A) for 1.5 minutes, i.e. arc welding time, out of

every 10 minute period (15% of 10 minutes is 1.5 minutes). During the other 8.5 minutes of the 10 minute period the Welding Power

Source must idle and allowed to cool.

NOTE 1 Due to variations that can occur in manufactured products, claimed performance, voltages, ratings, all capacities, measurements, dimensions and weights quoted are

approximate only. Achievable capacities and ratings in use and operation will depend upon correct installation, use, applications, maintenance and service.

NOTE 2 The Effective Input Current should be used for the determination of cable size & supply requirements.

NOTE 3 Motor start fuses or thermal circuit breakers are recommended for this application. Check local requirements for your situation in this regard.

NOTE 4 Minimum Generator Recommendation at the Maximum Output Duty Cycle. Due to large variations in performance and specifications of different brands and types

of generators, CIGWELD cannot guarantee full welding output power or duty cycle on every brand or type of generator. Some small generators incorporate low cost circuit

breakers on their outputs. These circuit breakers usually will have a small reset button, and will trip much faster than a switchboard type circuit breaker. This may result in

not being able to achieve full output or duty cycle from the power source / generator combination. For this reason we recommend a generator that incorporates switchboard

type circuit breakers. CIGWELD recommends that when selecting a generator, that the particular power source / generator combination be adequately trialled to ensure the

combination performs to the users expectations.

NOTE 5 CIGWELD reserves the right to change product performance and specifications without notice.

NOTE 6 If an extension lead is required to be used it is recommended to use a minimum size of 1.5mm2 Heavy Duty Extension Lead. Longer extension leads may impact

welding performance and operation.
