ABOUT COMPRESSOR DUTY CYCLE:
Compressor Duty Cycle refers to amount of time a compressor can be operated in a given time
period, at 100 PSI and at a standard ambient temperature of 72°F.
Duty Cycle is commonly expressed in percentile as:
Compressor on Time/ (Compressor on Time + Off Time) %
As an example, a compressor that is rated for 25% duty cycle means that compressor can be
operated at:
100 PSI @ 72°F for 10 Minutes ON and 30 Minutes OFF
10 Min. On / (10 Min. On + 30 Min. Off) = 10 Min. / 40 Min.
=25% Duty Cycle
DUTY CYCLE REFERENCE CHART
DUTY CYCLE @100PSI / 72°F MINUTES ON / OFF
15% 6 Min. On / 34 Min. Off
20% 8 Min. On / 32 Min. Off
25% 10 Min. On / 30 Min. Off
30% 13 Min. On / 30 Min. Off
33% 15 Min. On / 30 Min. Off
100% Continuous Duty
ABOUT RATED WORKING PRESSURE:
To ensure trouble free service life of your compressor, always operate compressor within rated
working pressure of the compressor. Never use a pressure switch with a higher cut-off pressure
than compressor’s rated working pressure.
