The duty rating defines how long the welding system can be used before it must pause and cool down.
Duty Cycle ratings are expressed as a percentage of a ten-minute period. It represents the maximum
welding time allowed at the specified amperage setting. The remaining balance of a ten-minute period
is required for cooling off the unit.
Please refer to the data plate located on the front of the unit for the specific rating that applies to
your unit. All Forney 230 Volt Welding Systems are rated at the required input amperage for proper
operation. Please refer to the data plate located on the front of the unit for the specific rating that
applies to your unit.

Power Source Connection

235 AC and 235 AC/DC requires 220V ±10%, 60 Hz, single phase AC with a 50A delayed fuse
or circuit breaker. Please consult local codes for proper plug and receptacle applications. A qualified
electrician should verify the actual voltage at the receptacle into which the welder will be plugged
and confirm that the receptacle is properly grounded. The use of the proper circuit size can eliminate
the nuisance of circuit breaker tripping when welding. This welder must be grounded while in use to
protect the operator from electrical shock. If you are not sure if your outlet is properly grounded, have
it checked by a qualified electrician. NOTE: Do not cut off the grounding prong or alter the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapters between the welder's power cord and the power source receptacle.
MAKE SURE THE POWER SWITCH IS OFF. Connect the 235 AC / 235 AC/DC to a
properly grounded 230 VAC, single-phase outlet. Contact a qualified electrician if a problem
exists. Improper performance and/or damage to the welder results if operated on inadequate or
excessive power.
HIGH VOLTAGE DANGER FROM POWER SOURCE! Consult a qualified electrician for
proper installation of receptacle at the power source.
