ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Duty Cycle and Current Carrying Capacity
The current carrying capacity of a welding cable depends on the length of the duty cycle. The duty cycle is the length of time during which a loaded current passes through the cable over an operation period of 5 minutes, expressed as a percentage of that period. For example, if the current is flowing for the whole 5 minutes the duty cycle is 100%, and if the current is flowing for 1 minute the duty cycle is 20%.
As conductor temperature varies according to the time in use as well as current, ratings shown are given as a guide.
The permissible loading of the cable for duty cycles other than those shown in the table can be calculated using the following formula:
I = I100 x √100/F
Where:
I: is the maximum permissible loading current for the required duty cycle.
I100 : is the maximum permissible loading current for a duty cycle of 100%.
F : is the required duty cycle calculated as a percentage of the 5 minute operation period.
Typical guidance values for different welding processes are as follows:
Fully automatic welding 100%
Semi-automatic welding 65 - 85%
Manual welding 30 - 60%
Very infrequent or occasional welding 20%
