4) The lifetime for modulating duty depends on the load and the number of starts. A high starting frequency will rarely improve the modulating accuracy. To reach
the longest possible maintenance and fault-free operation time, the number of starts per hour chosen should be as low as permissible for the process
5) The type of duty must not be exceeded.
