Duty cycle
Position | Explanation |
|---|---|
1 | Switch-on time ton |
2 | Cycle time |
The duty cycle is a relative value and depends on the switch-on time ton and the cycle time. A cycle time of up to 120 seconds is incorporated directly into the calculation. If the cycle time exceeds 120 seconds, you must use the maximum relevant cycle time of 120 seconds.
Calculation equation
- Duty cycle = ton / Cycle time x 100 %
 | Example Ton = 60 s Cycle time = 120 s 60 s / 120 s x 100 % = 50 % duty cycle Ton = 40 s Cycle time = 100 s 40 s / 100 s x 100 % = 40 % duty cycle |
