LIMITATIONS
•The Power Wave 455/R is not suitable for SMAW,
•Power Waves are not to be used in outdoor environ- ments.
•Only ArcLink Power Feed wire feeders and user interfaces may be used. Other Lincoln wire feeders or
DUTY CYCLE AND TIME PERIOD
The Power Feed wire feeders are capable of welding at a 100% duty cycle (continuous welding). The power source will be the limiting factor in determining system duty cycle capability. Note that the duty cycle is based upon a ten minute period. A 60% duty cycle represents 6 minutes of welding and 4 minutes of idling in a ten minute period.
