(EMC) requirements
IEC / EN 60974-11 Part 10: Electrode holders
EMC classification according to CISPR 11: Class A. Kemppi's arc welding
devices are designed for industrial applications.
Degree of protection and operating temperature
Degree of protection for Kemppi machines is IP23S, indicating protection against impact and outside storage. Welding equipment is not intended for use in the rain or in wet conditions. The operating temperature for Kemppi equipment is -20 °C … +40 °C, making them suitable for extreme conditions. The storage temperature is -40 °C … +60 °C.
Load capacity and duty cycle
The load capacity of Kemppi welding machines is given as amperage based on the duty cycle percentage. The duty cycle indicates the proportion of a 10 minute cycle that you can weld with the given current without the device overheating. Because the duty cycle has been given for the temperature of +40 °C, performance is normally higher in many ambient temperatures.
