( And not sure whether to go with the UT210D or the UT210E ? )
for this welder......
Any helpful advice here would be great. Thanks

The welder puts out 205A, so the D version would be better. Irritating if it maxes out though.( And not sure whether to go with the UT210D or the UT210E ? )

I read through the details and there is no mention of peak hold, which I agree would be useful for the intended application. I did notice it's an annoyingly small (in my opinion) mini meter.The welder puts out 205A, so the D version would be better. Irritating if it maxes out though.
Does it have peak hold so you can see what was read?

The clamp works for both AC and DC, mine is within spec at 80mA DC when measured against my bench supply and multimeter, neither are calibrated but I work on the assumption that all 3 aren't likely to be wrong.only reads AC amps you'll probley looking for one that reads DC amps
You can’t look at meter while you weld...
I mean it could, I just don’t really know what it would achieve? Other than morbid curiosity.Would filming it with a phone do any good? I haven't thought through how you would co-ordinate the timing of the film with the welding.
People are different. Some could gaze upon Mt Everest and it would never occur to them to climb it.I mean it could, I just don’t really know what it would achieve? Other than morbid curiosity.
I’ve got probably half a dozen clamp meters and clamp attachments for multimeters but it’s not once occurred to me that I need to measure my welding current. If it doesn’t look right turn it up or down a bit, the dial or meter on the front of the welder will get you near enough…
Of course if he really wants to that’s fine - but I was really just pointing out that’s it’s in no way necessary.People are different. Some could gaze upon Mt Everest and it would never occur to them to climb it.
Sometimes the point is knowledge, not just fusion.

That is all I’ve ever used mine for, checking the current and volts that a motor is working at to make sure the current is not exceeding the max listed on the data plate. I’ve never felt the need to check what current one of my welders is working at compared to the built in display. If the display is not accurate what difference does it make, adjust the welder to a setting that weld’s niceA clamp meter is a hugely useful thing to have, especially if you do stuff with motors etc
