Hi I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this welder?

It's a Triangle Minx Arc welder. It came from an old garage which was closing down. As you can see it has a big blue industrial plug on it.
I'm not sure if it's 1 or 3 phase..... It says "1 PH 50 cycles" and "200-480v" on the primary coil. So in theory can I cut the blue plug off and wire into the domestic mains? Or does it need an industrial supply to get its full potential?
Being called "Triangle" I would have thought 3 phase but it says 1 PH on it. Perhaps this is the data for just a single phase?
May be for sale if anyone is interested?
