The AD244 and DR44G alternator stator are delta wound.
This is normal for constant current welding machines.
Almost all 3 phase to DC welding alternators are delta.
I need it to produce up to 30 welding volts and at least 50 volts open current to help start the welding arc. The way it's making up to 80 volts is perfect.
The resistance is already very low in the stator. The reason for the voltage drop is welding creates a short circuit.
If I was tig welding the arc voltage would be even lower, between 11 and 16 volts.
