For anyone out there - I need help.  I am currently running a volta arc
from a welding power supply which is supposedly current regulated.  To
measure the current I am using a scope and a shunt (the supply is not
filtered so there is a waveform to observe ) with a shunt resistance
of 5 milliohms.  Specified current is 20 Amps.  The waveform I am
getting is non-sinusoidal and has an rms value around 300 milliVolts.

Note - I am not an EE.  I am lost.  Anyone out there with a clue?
