Hi, I mentioned in my introductory post that I'd purchased an Oerlikon citoarc TAC 173 tig machine for AC welding & it's working a treat.

To be honest, on DC I feel it welds better/nicer/smoother than the Lincoln invertec 160v that I've also got & been using previously. Suppose it's an inverter v's transformer issue.
Whilst I was looking for a 240v AC tig machine (for over a year..) I noticed that I had seen similar welders with front panel button/knob configurations to the Oerlikon unit that I bought. The thing with these other welders is that they were 3 phase only The welders were.

Handy to know, as these machines are getting old & parts might be an issue when required.
So, I've been studying Mig welders & I'm noticing a similar pattern with Mig units also, especially with Clarke items.
Does any one know if the older 240v/380v/415v 200te units are shared with other "outlets"?
Thanks in advance, Vara.
