Well, I know I can go over the duty cycle of my 175miller connected to a 60amp fuse panel. I have had it shut down several times. I will admit that for the majority of the welding I do, its only a few inches here and there, but once everything is tacked up, its balls to the wall until the welder, or I, shut down. I have also had my Lincoln idealarc, 250/250 shut down trying to tig 3/8 aluminum, ( even blowed the 60amp fuses a time or two), but never using 1/8 rods. What can I say, I abuse things.
