Duty cycle
The duty cycle refers to the time as a percentage of a ten-minute period that you can weld at a cer
tain load without overloading. The duty cycle is valid for 104° F.
Enclosure class
The IP code indicates the enclosure class, i.e. the degree of protection against penetration by solid
objects and water. Equipment marked IP 23S is designed for indoor and outdoor use; however,
should not be operated in rain or similar.
