This compressor has a duty cycle of 33%

Note: Duty cycle refers to the amount of time a compressor can be operated in given time period at 100 PSI, at a standard ambient temperature of 72 degrees F. Duty cycle is commonly expressed in percentage format. The higher the percentage the longer run time. For more "frequently asked questions" on compressors see Viair FAQ Page.
