BCnT, I've always wondered just how duty cycles are calculated? I have a cheap 225 amp lincoln ac welder. I think it has a 10% duty cycle. Is the 10% cycle based on 225 amps range or the 75 amp range where I do most of my welding? Is the duty cycle a function of the ambient temperature?
I usually burn up 5-6 rods, 75 amp range, then give it a break for a few minutes. The welder has never produced a hot smell like the windings are getting hot.
