Can You Run a Welder on Solar Power? (Yes, Here''s How)
Duty cycles are in 10 minute cycles. A 23V 180A welder with a 20% duty cycle can run for 2 minutes then has to cool down for 8 minutes. A 30% duty cycle means the welder can operate for 3 minutes and cool down for 7 minutes before resuming. This is not like running a TV on solar power which you can keep open for hours.
