TECHNICAL DATA
Duty Cycle
The duty cycle refers to the time period in which the welding machine can supply a certain
maximum welding current (loading time) and a reference time, according to international
regulations. The time reference is of 10 minutes.
The 60% nominal duty cycle means that the machine can supply simultaneously its nominal
welding current during periods of 6 minutes (loading); each period must be followed by a resting
period (the machine does not supply welding current) of 4 minutes, that is, (6 + 4 = 10 minutes)
simultaneously, and not exceeding the internal temperature limit of the components, according
to their design and project.
This guide line and guidance applies to any duty cycle value.
In the LHI Rectifier the duty cycle allowed increases up to 100% once the welding current used
decreases, inversely, the duty cycle allowed decreases once the welding current increases up to
the maximum current range.
The chart 3.1 shows the authorized loading for the LHI Rectifier.
