*What is the ambient temperature at which Miller rates their duty cycles?
104° F (40° C). Miller products are tested tough. The duty cycle of a machine tends to go down as the temperature
increases. We rate our products in high temperature conditions to ensure that you can rely on Miller product performance,
especially if you work in hot environments. When comparing machine specifications, it is important that you know what
ambient temperature was used while rating the duty cycle.
Competitive comparison data taken from Miller testing and literature published by competitors.
