Oh yea - I do have a BNC to Banana plug adapter somewhere. Hum. What drawer or ...

Have a nice 1000A AC/DC Fluke. No longer made, but what the heck, if it works.
Also have AC versions for my triplet. Had two, gave one to dad. Rats. Two are nice
for two power legs.

Fluke makes one that plugs into your DVM and reads both A/C and D/C current.
I don't know if Amprobe makes a D/C unit yet. The Fluke is prety handy for
automotive stuff. I'll have to hang it on the welders and see what they
really do

Ig,
If the output (arc) is not AC, then you proly can't put an amprobe on the
welding cable itself, unless they've come out with DC-measuring amprobes,
while I been asleep.
If they have, I sure would like one!

It is extremely rare to find AC output on a 3-phase, transformer based,
welding power supply.

AC is almost exclusively found on either 3-phase inverter based machines
or Single-phase transformer machines.

That makes sense. So, Ernie, what are your thoughts on this welder's
amp requirements? Just how big should the phase converter be to drive
it. Again, 200 amp tig. I posted a picture of the nameplate in my
original post.

I did run it at low settings with a 10 HP idler, but I am not sure
just what it takes to run it at full power.
