It produces alternating current AC. It is cheaper to build than a DC or an AC - DC welder. Most electrodes can be used with DC. Some can be used for both. Very few are AC only. DC produces a smoother arc, is easier to strike an arc and most machines in industry are DC. Surprisingly a lot of AC machines are on farms as they were cheaper to buy.
