3-3. Duty Cycle And Overheating
Duty Cycle is percentage of 10 min-
utes that unit can weld at rated load
without overheating.
If unit overheats, output stops, a
Help message is displayed and
cooling fan runs. Wait fifteen min-
utes for unit to cool. Reduce amper-
age or voltage, or duty cycle before
welding.
. Single Phase Operation: The
unit is supplied with a 8 AWG
power cord. The rated output
with 8 AWG is 300 amps, 32
volts at 40% duty cycle. To
achieve 60% duty cycle
change cord to 6 AWG.
NOTICE − Exceeding duty cycle
can damage unit and void warranty.
