Yes, I would say that Cond. means for power factor correction. Look on any Lincoln single phase welder and they will have 2 model numbers. One without and one with power factor correction. I had a smaller Tig welder hooked up to a 60 amp breaker even though it could draw more amps. The electrician that hooked it up said that's when duty cycle comes into play. If was set up for continuous use it would need a bigger breaker. About the highest duty cycle you can get when manual welding is around 70% and you have to be really fast to achieve that. Burning big rods one after the other and no clean up at all. I think you would be fine with a 120 breaker if you have that much amps coming in. I think most standard service is 100 amps but farms can have 200 or higher depending on its needs. You have to pay extra to get higher capacity. Dave
