2.3 Description
This MIG130 takes the guess work out of welding with an impressive SYNERGIC SET function that
allows the user to weld like a Pro with no previous welding experience necessary.
2.4 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 20% duty cycle, 120 amperes at 20
volts. This means that it has been designed and built to provide the rated amperage (120A) for 2
minutes, i.e. Arc welding time, out of every 10 minute period (20% of 10 minutes is 2minutes).
During the other 8 minutes of the 10 minute period the welding power source must idle and be
allowed to cool.
