| Nov 29, 2017 at 20:07 | comment | added | D.A.S. | I might, but others not. I once had to measure a shunt current in the 1~100 mV range under 10kA arcs from a diffusion arc welder which ran about 5V under load or 50kW of continuous arc. It worked but the long coax had to be 90 deg to loop. also ... iaea.org/inis/collection/NCLCollectionStore/_Public/30/032/… | |

| Nov 29, 2017 at 17:35 | comment | added | Trevor_G | @Makoto :) thanks. After all.. you only get one shot at this.. why risk it when there are other easy to obtain methods. | |
| Nov 29, 2017 at 17:33 | comment | added | Makoto | But Trevor, you're not just some guy :p but true, don't think I'll be taking that chance | |
| Nov 29, 2017 at 17:30 | comment | added | Trevor_G | @Makoto it would depend on how the welder is configured. Either way, it does not sound like you should be taking a chance it might be ok. Especially not an any advice from some guy on the internet ;) | |
