Mastering the Pulse of Welding: Deciphering What Duty Cycle on a Welder Means for You

Understanding a welder’s operational capacity is crucial for both safety and efficiency. This capacity is often measured by the duty cycle, a parameter that indicates the duration a welder can operate at a certain power without overheating. By defining the balance between work time and cooling periods, the duty cycle ensures that welding equipment maintains…
