Application classification
Duty cycle
The duty cycle refers to the time as a percentage of a ten-minute period that you can weld at
a certain current without overheating. The duty cycle is valid for 104°F / 40°C.
For more information, see section "Duty cycle" in the OPERATION chapter.
Enclosure class
The IP code indicates the enclosure class, i.e. the degree of protection against penetration
by solid objects or water.
Equipment marked IP 23S is intended for indoor and outdoor use; however, should not be
operated in precipitation.
Application class
The symbol indicates that the power source is designed for use in areas with increased
electrical hazard.
