If the machine is dropping amps as you describe, and is occurring as you weld across "gaps" the likely cause is long arcing and a poor ground for the arc. I do have to wonder how you can watch the amp readout and weld at the same time? I've been to Sydney many times, never seen a chameleo...

On a CC machine your amperage should not vary all that much, so I'm wondering how you are determining that your actual amps are dropping. Does the machine have a built-in ammeter/display for you to view the welding amps? The only way I see that the amperage falls without the person causing it to do...

Hi Team, I’m a newly-introduced Newbie, and I have a question. Here are the parameters ; Machine is a 2005 ( approx) ESSETTI AC/DC TIG transformer machine that has only been used a few times since I bought it new here in Sydney Australia.
